Why is US hell bent on a private capitalist free opinion sharing platform like Tiktok? What happened to their mantra of so-called free spirit of capitalism and freedom of expression that they have been preaching to the rest of the world for decades?

It’s illustrative that TikTok in China is not TikTok in America. China TikTok is focused on molding young minds into being good students and good citizens. China obviously recognizes the brain melt that occurs with the version fed to American kids.

There are laws in the US against selling alcohol or cigarettes to kids. Also laws against sex with minors.

Freedom of expression stops at the point where it collides with public safety. And also with national security.

Do you think covid 19 was never as bad as it got made out to be where we needed lockdowns and restrictions?

As to the question, after witnessing the inability of my 10 year old niece to get off TikTok, while casually seeing some of what is on her screen, I’m good with the bill that Biden just signed. And I’m good with Florida’s new policy and watching to see how it will be implemented.

The problem with the additive algorithms in TikTok, Instagram, Snapchat and others is that it’s becoming increasingly more apparent how harmful these social media sites are for kids and very young teens.

Russia would not be permitted to purchase and own the New York Times or CNN. Iran would not be able to purchase the Los Angeles Times. America has global adversaries.

I committed the unpardonable sin. God immediately punished me so that I can no longer think like before and my brain is as if paralyzed and does not work. I've tried everything (confession, repentance, etc.) nothing helps. Any advice?

China has long banned Facebook and Snapchat.

Not crazy with the ability of kids to get easy porn on their phones either.

I’m with Florida’s De Santis on this. Limiting this crap’s effect on young minds and protecting kids from predator adults pretending to be kids is a laudable goal.

Are Americans really as uneducated and ignorant as portrayed in the media?
