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?

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.

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.

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.

Why do so many men on the internet try to compete with women, or try to "humble" and bash them? There's so many videos across my tiktok and YouTube of men claiming how they're wanting to get back at women and put them in thier place.

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

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

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.

Do older men realize that younger women usually do not prefer them?

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.

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

China has long banned Facebook and Snapchat.
