    the law doesn’t protect kids tho, everybody who supports this law has to rant about how bad social media is but at the end of the day the law is only about foreign companies. It just says instagram has the right to do all the same shit as tiktok and the only problem the gov has with tiktok is its not US owned.

    News Flash: If you gotta lie about what the law is for to justify it, you’re part of the misinformation problem.

      It’s a step in the right direction and it can certainly inspire future laws.

      People want to get everything all at once when that rarely happens, especially with governments. So much impatience in this world.

      I didn’t lie, I specifically stated they weren’t doing it for altruistic reasons. But the why isn’t what’s important to me. If them being shitty is a net positive, then I don’t really give a shit.
