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?

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.

China has long banned Facebook and Snapchat.

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.

Ive been pretending to be okay and acting as normal as possible, but Im actually completely heartbroken after a recent breakup. Its painful and really affecting me, to the point where I cant concentrate at work, Ive lost my appetite, I cant sleep, and It feels as if my whole world has been turned upside down. I loved him so much. He said so many cruel things to me and it made me realize he must not have loved me the way I loved him, or he wouldnt have said such horrible things. How do I handle the heartbreak and why cant I accept that he didnt love me and just forget about him?

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.

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.

What is the most craziest dream you ever had?

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.

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

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.

If we do not know the name of the father of a child, e.g. a foundling, an illegitimate, etc., then to whom should the bin or the binti of the child's name be applied?
