If you as a content creator have a choice between a platform with 3 billion people (US and India included), like Shorts and Instagram Reels, and one without (TikTok), where would you post?

This is a clear disadvantage given to tiktok only to protect its own companies cause if US actually cared about data and mental health, homegrown Tech companies would also face repercussions.

LETS NOT FORGET, China can VERY EASILY buy most of the data it needs from the open market which many US companies, including Big Tech contribute to.

This has done nothing for citizens. Only protected innovation less US companies.

Good riddance? Not really cause US still has clones of tiktok present like reels and shorts.

Nothing will change. Data will still be collected. China can easily buy data from the open market. Mental health will still be affected.

In fact, due to lack of competition, things will only get worse.

US and India are 2 moronic countries

I thought this meant the writer is forgoing Amazon as a service completely.

Cause that would be something worth reading. Not these first world problems ffs

The question is why. You can’t stop kids from watching it. People get it one way or another. This does nothing than cause mild dips in viewership.

And frankly the kind of stuff on law abiding sites like PH is not doing any noticeable harm anyway. Raising awareness on sexual education if anything.

Most kids begin watching/experimenting around 14. Around 16 is when they should have sex ed and 18 is adulthood anyway. What’s the point?

Not comparable but we are back to the “video games cause violence” nonsense.

Sometimes kids just dont need government protection. This is one of those times.
