  1. Here is a solution…..just don’t use it.

  2. Day 104: Elon lost 200 billion from Twitter and Tesla stocks. Where's the new CEO Elon promised? Most apps require sign on profiles and track user history so why are US Lawmakers banning Tik Tok? Twitter and Facebook are the biggest drivers of hate speech and user tracking. Parents accuse Snapchat messaging of enabling drug dealers but that's an American company so let's get back to blaming Tik Tok. Do they think blaming others will hide the truth?

  3. Let them be protest how they wanted be more million views. They wasted their time.

  4. It’s almost like a gambling addiction

  5. If I was running TikTok I would just open US based operations. That would add jobs that was recently loss by tech companies and solve the security concerns. But idk the logistic nightmare that may be 😂

  6. I just don't get why they won't ban it. People will get over it eventually and move on with their lives.
