> Who better than a loving parent to guide them?

Many of us didn't have loving parents. We had parents who would weaponize any detail they learned about us in order to hurt us.

I used the internet to get away from my parents when I physically couldn't.

A constructive solution to that is to call CPS or even run away. Getting hooked on tiktok as you would a drug is not.

I don’t believe this bill blocks iMessage for example.

So a child getting addicted to Tiktok is worse than them running away or calling CPS, which could lead to their removal?

Hard to judge "what is worse" without more information. What I do know is that tiktok is not a solution.

CPS gets a bad wrap, often justifiably. But some in-fact-horrible parents do deserve to have their kids taken away to safety.
