Is TikTok too big to ban, as some U.S. lawmakers want to do? tiktok alabamanewsnetwork

Inspired by a neighbor dropping off some brownies and a handwritten note for her while she was in quarantine, Goodwin decided to launch a pre-stamped greeting cards company called Sparks of Joy Co. A few months later, a TikTok influencer with some two million followers shared one of Goodwin’s cards on her account and Goodwin saw her business take off. Goodwin, now 28, told CNN that more than 90% of her orders currently come from people who discover her business through TikTok.

“Too big to fail” TikTok has simultaneously tried to ease concerns about its impact on Americans and their data while also working to expand its footprint in the country. The company, which is owned by Beijing-based Bytedance, has committed to moving its US user data to Oracle’s cloud platform and to taking other steps to isolate US user data from other parts of its business.

Senate passes legislation to ban TikTok from US government devices | CNN BusinessThe Senate passed legislation Wednesday evening to ban TikTok from US government devices, in a move designed to limit perceived information-security risks stemming from the social media app. SeyedMohammadHosseini charged by 'corruption on earth', has no family or lawyer to stand for him. He is very likely to face the next execution after Mohsen Shekari and MajidrezaRahnavard. Be his voice! *** Now they need to pass a bill making vile corporate propaganda from CNN illegal to force on children in schools. If you hacks lose force-fed indoctrination in schools and airports, you’ll only have a few hundred really slow viewers at home who think you’re a news org. Do Twitter next.

TikTok may push potentially harmful content to teens within minutes, study finds | CNN BusinessTikTok may surface potentially harmful content related to suicide and eating disorders to teenagers within minutes of them creating an account, a new study suggests, likely adding to growing scrutiny of the app's impact on its youngest users. I remember when we used to tell girls with eating disorders that they are indeed fat and they need to take lots of medication and get surgery to remove the fat. Oh, nevermind. gendercrap Well I seem to remember some recent president saying that the USA should ban TikTok ? OF COURSE it does, the Chinese Communist Party is dedicated to destroying the citizens of the United States. Now, are parents tough enough to take phones from their kids? It's not time for soft compassion, it is time for strength and discipline, which is TRUE LOVE for children.
