Ars Frontiers kicked off Monday with a panel called "TikTok—Banned or Not, It's Probably Here to Stay," featuring experts on TikTok, data privacy, and cybersecurity.

It just so happened that the week before Ars Frontiers, TikTok was banned in Montana. This made the panel discussion particularly timely, as some TikTok creators and TikTok promptly sued the state, hoping to ensure that all Americans maintain access to the China-owned app—despite lawmakers' national security concerns that the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) might use TikTok to access US user data.
