Tweens and Teens
Yup, it’s amazing watching educated people fall for such scams. This whole thing was a completely manufactured controversy. And I’m pretty sure the kids are using alternative apps in the meantime anyway! |
| It is a law not a manufactured controversy. Of course trump doesn’t care about laws. Because tiktok helped him get elected, he sees the power of it and will enlist his tech oligarchs to buy it and use it for his propaganda. |
| All you parents who don’t like TikTok probably didn’t teach you’re children how to act online |

Trump has nominated several VERY vocal China hawks for positions at the Pentagon and State. One of them literally helped run the campaign that got the legislation to ban TikTok passed. What happens within Trumpworld if he gives it a stay of execution?

| Trump wants to force a sale to one of his oligarch friends. |
| Social media has ruined this generation. |
| TikTok is the most toxic of all. |
| Hallelujah |

Trump will save you
Even tho he started the ban... he will "save" All hail trump |
My 18 year olds were never into it. |
My kids know how to behave online, and they aren’t online 24/7. They don’t have smartphones, but they can access the Internet and select social media apps. I’m sorry that those of us who actually do parent our children and spend time with them make you feel like disengaged trash for just handing your kids a smartphone, but that’s your problem. The vast majority of teens and tweens we know who are on TikTok and have free range on phone usage have divorced parents, so it’s likely a sop for feeling bad about broken homes. |
| Do we really need two threads about this? |
| Can we just keep it off forever, and ever, and ever....?? |
It ruined all the old people who voted for Trump. That’s the generation it ruined. The kids are all right. |
