It’s sad we are living in a world where people come home from there jobs and don’t even communicate with there partner they just go right to there social media I would vote to take away all social media for good.Social media has created a world of people who can barely hold a conversation because they are used to texting and not communicating in person it’s a shame

TikTok has destroyed every aspect of modern culture. From social interactions to music and movies. The world feels stale because TikTok has changed people’s intentions.

Ban Tiktok NOW. Thank you very much 😊.

Bann the app and the wackos uploading videos on it.

I don’t care about TikTok never use it.. it wouldn’t bother me if they banned it 😂😂😂

[guodah]

All kinds of short videos should be banned.

[wildlifewarrior]

Sadly Tik-Tok will not be banned in the United States they generate too much money

[moodrevolver]

Nothing but the devil’s playground and must be destroyed

[kiuballchan]

Should try to fix the crime happening here rather than spending time banning the social media

America can’t even ban guns that took thousands of American people’s lives each year. But they worry about an app.😅😅😅

What a hypocritical joke this is. Like the US government isn't already doing this?

[bordergameingodwalt]

Idk why the anchor is complaining about “keep our children safe act” like only the gov is responsible for your kids; I know of plenty of parents who dislike and don’t trust TikTok yet still let their tweens use it…??? To what extent is it your household’s responsibility? Who is allowing a foreign country access into their own home? If you have kids and can’t regulate your own kids’ online activity, you better stop tokking the tok and start wokking the wok. It starts at home. The ones who allow and agree to it are the ones creating a demand for and empowering the platform.

Please ban it, iPhone sales will plumit, people will switch to Android and my apple short will print 💰

Only America should be allowed to spy on Americans...(LMFAO)!

[leihtory]
