This is one of those things I stay out of.

It's not healthy for kids. But they enjoy it. But it's definitely used by China for spying. But people should know better than to put private stuff on there.

However the bill I'm against, they put a lot of internet spying in there too in the name of saving the children. So...

Yeah we'll just see how it turns out

I don't think you're saying it is not, but I want to add that all social media is bad for kids. This bill targets a Chinese company, but all big social media companies collect and sell user data to an alarming degree. We don't need a TikTok ban, we need data protections.

the bill that was passed essentially said that warrants are no longer needed for data because "save the children".

Yup. Sorry if it came across as me defending the bill. It is trash. We need actual data protections
