South Dakota first to ban TikTok on state-owned devices

I’m not sure it’s so different from the club being a political party or the club being from the Ivy League for top end business and political roles.

I think a narrow set of outlooks is bad for the general population.

If you think TikTok deliberately prioritizes dumbed down content then why does Facebook or Fox news also do it?

Because sex sells. Need I say more?

I'm dead serious. Go on Facebook, Twitter, even Fox News, how many images can you find without revealing clothing, suggestive poses, suggestive dances, etc.? Not far.

For them, it's a financial motive. For TikTok, because it is so bottom of the barrel, I think it has both financial and strategic motive.
