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
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
Okay, back to bed grandpa.
I swear most posts I see on this sub are less technology and more "what is going on in us politics and might involve a phone or computer somehow" lol
My problem with banning TikTok is that it's not because it's an app that harvests data and causes psychological and social harm, but that we're banning it because it's not an American app that harvests data and causes psychological and social harm.
