This law is not about protecting us from the harms of social media, and it doesn't even literally ban TikTok; so this framing of it being whackamole is missing the point.

What we really need is strong data privacy laws and child development guided policies. But that's not the point of the law either.

I guess it depends what lens you are looking through. Most people on TikTok would happily give their SSN, DOB, and any data over to a company to watch videos, make money on silly shit that happens on TikTok.

Other folks think TikTok is legitimately a news source and the government is keeping things from them.
