Aggressive?

Sounds like the US needs to claim sovereign proprietary rights on all data originating or terminating in the US. realDonaldTrump

Really? Who would’ve thought

Tiktok controls the kid's mind is a horsecrap. Blaming is another way of doing gimmicks for the losers. Trump is the typical loser as an instance.

Influence the minds of youth? Just wait until republicans force school children to hold prayer during snack time!

Imagine what Facebook is doing to users.
