    I hear ya. I’m dragging my heels on introducing social media to my kids. One of them is reaching a point where his friends are getting into it. Thankfully, so far he’s not really that interested. Also, my wife and I are taking the time to prime him about the dos and don’ts of social media, so hopefully he will have better awareness.

    But between corporations and degenerate creeps preying on kids and teenagers (especially girls), it’s a troubling time to be a parent or guardian.

    I’m fine with a ban on Tiktok. I think that platform adds nothing of significant value to society, and a lot of problems instead. But the bigger problem is that we need better accountability and safeguards for social media companies in general. And only targeting Tiktok because of their current ownership doesn’t get us there.
