This is non-partisan - if a liberal performed these crimes they'd be tried the same, and liberals would support it.

Not to be that guy, but I think he makes 300k and was given 193m in stock options last year based on some whack evaluation.
Still an utterly insane number, hope they get crushed on the public market
They have 2000 employees and that don't do anything
I got permabanned for asking mods to do something about the shit posts that violate their rules.
Obs works fine for me, what's the issue,?
I bought a table saw during COVID. They only allowed pickup in the parking lot. You couldn't rent vehicles because we were on lockdown. I had no choice but to pick it up with my Jetta.
People were laughing their asses off at me unpacking it and barely fitting it in the trunk. Styrofoam was going everywhere as I broke it. Had to throw all the packing material into a dumpster.
So embarrassing.
I didn't know that that is

Reminds me of my zealously religious family members, they can take any argument and twist it into supporting their beliefs.
Does this apply to chromium browsers too?
Use endeavour if you're new
Does blurting or absurd insensitive claims make you an asshole or autistic?
Healthcare is a provincial issue though

Ya, even my Jettas physical buttons only increase the speed by 2km
Kids using tiktok and tiktok specifically targeting children to use their platform are distinctly different. Just because kids use tiktok doesn't mean it's because they were lured there. Those metrics only identify that tiktok is popular among youth, which is not an indication of malice whatsoever.
I appreciate your opinion, but short video clips on Mobile devices are nothing inherent to children. Now if tiktok was giving you pokemon for signing up or posting of their platform, then there'd be a valid argument that they're targeting children. (I feel like there was a pokeball collaboration with tiktok once, but I can't find a source to support it)
Getting back to the original context - the argument that Tiktok should be shut down because "it's short videos on mobile platforms that's popular among teens" is lunacy. Everyone is throwing shade at me and not realizing how absurd their argument is.
I'm not acting in bad faith either. I don't care about the fate of tiktok, but I'm seeing a trend of vilification without proper logical discourse. It's disconcerting to say the least.
Come to Canada and eat any of our supermarket strawberries, they're disgusting.
One of my Italian tour guides last year was so confused when I explained how our produce is nothing like what they have there. Strawberries are sour, not juicy, and white inside.
We do have some good local strawberries during the summer. This is why, to us, GMO is a bad thing

Genuine question, where are you from?
Where I'm from GMO is used to prevent ripening and damage during transportation which results in weak tasting and tough produce that can survive long distance transportation.
GMO has negative effects too, it's ignorant to think otherwise.
100%
This is true. I should have specified that geographically GMO is a bad thing here because it's typically associated with creating hard tasteless produce that can survive long haul transportation
This has to be some sort of Dunning-Kruger effect right here...
Tiktok's stance is rather meaningless because they'd never admit wrongdoing. I'm more curious how does tiktok target children with their platform? How do they lure them to it and why?
Then the conversation becomes: What standards should social media platforms be accountable to?
No need to apologize, you're the first person to actually calmly and willingly discuss the topic without completely dismissing being disagreed with.
I know you're not the originally comment I was replying to, but you conveniently moved the goal posts. The context of the entire conversation is whether TikTok specifically should be shut down because it targets children for it's own gain. You're now arguing that social media in general has negative impact on society and children, which I agree with, but is completely skewing the conversation and was, in no way, the central point of the discussion.
So your opinion is that all social media platforms that deem to have negative affects on society should be shut down? Do you not see what's wrong with that? You're saying humans can't decide whether or not they want to use social media. You should understand how absolutely absurd that is - that is a completely dystopian totalitarian dictatorship idea. It sounds like a chapter in 1984.
No, it's still GMO. My usage was vague, that's on me.
Source? Examples?
I tried googling, can't find anything that supports these claims
Edit: third party advertisers abusing tiktoks advertising algorithms is not on topic to the original comment that tiktok itself specifically targets children, and tiktok has addressed these issues.
You can downvote all you want, but I've still not been provided any proof that tiktok specifically targets or intends their platform to be for children.
I'm not dismissing the original claim. I'm genuinely curious, but I need logical discourse, not users with mental illness going off on complete tangents.
If you have any cognitive thought or opinionated source that tiktok is a bad faith actor towards the safety or health of children, I'd love to read it. My company builds software, so knowing the failings of tiktok to protect children is in my interest.
Agreed. We're both being downvote because we're not part of the hive mind.
Most of the links provided are about how children were easy to advertise to and TikTok was not properly protecting them. That's a completely different discussion than "tiktok is targeting children".
I want to be a supporter of keeping children safe, but I don't think banning tiktok will help anything other than create 5 new platforms that will make letting kids safe even harder
Edit: that last argument is a straw man, but you get the point
How?
Unrelated
This is about advertising to children within the platform and how tiktok intends to protect unethical advertising to children
Unrelated to original comment
Unrelated, and you provided links that tiktok has worked to prevent this behavior from advertised
Again, this is not relevant to the original comment.
This is about how advertising was abused to target children.
It honestly sounds like you unjustifiably hate the platform and are throwing every nonsensical argument.
You've provided zero justification that tiktok as a company purposely targets children or designs their application specifically for children.
Again, this supports tiktok protecting children
Unrelated - this is just a business tiktok page
This would mean something if anyone knew who she was as an artist

Please find two brain cells to rub together to understand the context of the original comment. You've gone on a complete nonsensical tangent akin to mental illness
Aren't the Republicans the reason why this began?
