    I’m not against regulation of social media such as TikTok, not because of any percieved foreign control of the narrative, but rather simply because of its harm on individuals (addiction, toxicity, dysmorphia, surveillance capitalism, to name a few things).

      I’d like to see regulations that put consumer protections and enforcement in place that take away the concerns that everyone has with tiktok but any other social media is too.

      But you know just banning the app will totally work and there won’t be any other apps that do the same thing /s

      Destroy all of them. We don’t need social media. Keep our opinions to ourselves like the old days.

        social media is one of the first places where closeted queer kids can be themselves and meet a community of people. social media is important for them we just need one free of disinformation and toxicity

          I know this is in poor taste but if your argument is less than 1% of the population gains from it then their is no argument for destroying it. Cons outweigh the pros.
