Opinion:

Senator Rand Paul likely made 150+ million users on TikTok very happy while Senators Hawley and Rubio likely upset those same users of the TikTok app.

The Carroll County Observer uses TikTok to inform followers about local issues in the county. The Observer hopes the elected officials choose to do the right thing and not ban that app.

Have thoughts…let us know in the comments.
