Ktt some old heads now lol
You posted a graph implying that the rise of big tech = rise in mental health issues among adolescents. i'm telling you correlation =/= causation. that graph implies that social media is the determining factor. it is not, capitalism is. you can do all you want to try and restrict these companies tomorrow (which will never happen because capitalism) and people's mental states are not going to improve because their material conditions are going to continue to get worse.
Do you think material conditions suddenly worsened when social media became popular or
gotcha. idk enough about it to have a real opinion but i feel like they should let tiktok be. aint hurting anybody. it's good to keep them in check and not let them do anything foul but they shouldnt ban the app. or at least idk what cause they have to do so
You think tiktok is not harming anybody?
honestly... idk what to think about this. i personally don't care if China has my data because I'm a normal ass adult with nothing to hide and I can't be brainwashed. I'm fine with them tracking me. but on the aggregate ..... talking about millions of american users including children and people who are important ... i understand the concern.
Every human can be brainwashed if you know enough about them
People act like Zuck wasnt being grilled by em not so long ago too . Google boss and twitter too. In fact every one was cheering that on when it happened.. if they do ban it I get it but people got short memories saying why this guy being questioned and pointing to other social media companies like they haven't also faced scrutiny
Ban them all

I'm not aware of tiktok harming anybody beyond the general ills of social media
The true nature of this bill should be added to the title and OP
Seriously, it’s very irresponsible that the mods are letting this be discussed as just a “tiktok ban” when the severity of this bill is huge and potentially life changing for every single one of us

Yall voted for this admin
Now deal with it
I haven’t used the app in a lil over a year but when I did I was on it religiously like everybody else.
It’s ridiculous they’re on track to ban it tho
Explain what happened in adison rae terms

And the wild part is, most of us are only in our mid to late 20’s. They see hating on things the younger crowd like as a personality trait cause they’re miserable deep down.

Social media is inherently harmful and tiktok is the strongest form in terms of holding attention

nah could also be pre/post Internet divide
people in their mid 20's have way more of a notion of what the world was like pre-interenet than someone born into the internet era tbh

okay but that's not what this bill is about, I don't think. nor do I think social media in general should be banned in a free market. it's a slippery slope to start banning specific types of media
Tyler the creator: “How is cyber bullying real lmao like nigga just turn off your screen lmfao hahaha go outside lol”
millennials: “haha so true” *likes the tweet billions of times
people nowadays: “oh f*** I am so mentally unstable and it’s everyone else’s fault but my own heheh man am I a weak minded and weak bodied person heheh totally. at least I am nice to everyone all the time, unless they’re like, on the wrong team lol? woooah kenny! My feelings are hurt, i’m offended, and that matters. pay attention to me!”
people who are better than that: crickets [they’ve all but checked out of the endless insanity loop known as “I’m miserable and you should be too”
