    They said this about TV. And game consoles. And computers. And every social media website. They said this about movies when they first came out too.

    Social media is a reality of the world. This ban isn’t getting rid of that, just banning one specific platform. Why is Intagram Reels acceptable but Tik Tok isn’t? Because ones is owned by a Chinese company and the other isn’t. That’s all this ban is about. Literally nothing else.

      Yeah, I’m almost 100% sure the “tiktok is damaging kid’s brains” is the millennial equivalent of boomers “videogames and TV are damaging kid’s brains”.

      I’m a millennia by the way, and we are starting to sound a bit afraid of technologies.
