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?

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

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.

Why has Biden pulled ahead in battleground states and is now projected to win the 2024 presidency?

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

China has long banned Facebook and Snapchat.

I'm a 28-year-old guy who has never been in a relationship, nor can I seem to find someone who wants to be in one with me. Why do I feel like a freak?
