I still don't see why a short video app can be so popular. I prefer more content and longer video with impact.

Perhaps it's my age 😅

China notwithstanding, getting rid of tiktok might stop a lot of stupidity in the youth of the US today.
On one hand, that's true. On the other hand, who can stop them from watching Reels or Shorts?

That was the positive side of not banning it that I also mentioned. It does help to clean up the gene pool as the idiots do the stupid challenges and managed to off themselves in the process. Just feel sad for the parents though, having birthed genetic idiots.

Appeals court upholds law to ban TikTok in the U.S. I think it’s better to ban it because it affects children's studies.

I often get TikTok links from friends in the US and when I try to open them, my AppStore (which I have always set to US) says the app is not available in my country. The only TikTok videos I am able to view are the ones sent as video files. Most are garbage; a few have some fleeting humor.
