Nationalized social media bans and restricted device usage while in a classroom are different things. Why would TikTok ever belong in the classroom?

Of course if even educational use of laptops is restricted then personal mobile devices would also be. They are already banned in my country.

The original article doesn’t care to explore the difference, it doesn’t even acknowledge there is a problem.

If the article was “instead of a national ban, we should look at school-wide ban”, I would be sympathetic.

FWIW, American states are doing exactly this[1], people still complain
