It would be more beneficial for its users and the country that it shut down indefinitely in the US.

America has bigger problems to solve ... that will impact the lives of young Americans and future generations. Gun violence, fentanyl, student debt, racism, national debt .... if only US government tackle these problems with the same enthusiasm as they tackle Tiktok.

Tik Tok reminds me of Pimps and Prostitutes.



Tik Tok being the "Pimps."
The Users being the "Prostitutes."

Why does congress still create presentations that look like the ones I made in grammar school? The optics are terrible! I feel bad for the poor guy holding up the cheap Kinko posterboard. They can't even get a stand? It's 2023. It would have been hysterical if they used TikTok to make their presentations 🤣

My apple account has been hacked 3 times in the last five years and I didn't even get an apology. Idk I could care less about Tiktok but it's hard to watch people old as dirt that don't know a thing about any apps sit up there with their cue cards preaching about privacy practices 😵‍💫🙄
