“Tik tok in china is nothing like tik tok in america. the algos are different, the content is different, it shuts off at night to make sure that kids stop scrolling and go to bed or do their homework. instead of the culture carnival of american influencer insanity with its impossible standards and lunacy lessons, it instills ideas like “learn math!” “become a doctor!” and “raise a family!”

Yep: China uses TikTok to make our children stupid. China uses TikTok to make their children smart: old.bitchute.com/video/…

I gotta say, as a parent it is really difficult nowadays to strike a balance between making sure your kids aren't infected by some of the depraved harmful content, while at the same time making sure they're able to use technology so they are not at a competitive disadvantage.

It's requiring a lot more time then i thought. I hate invading their privacy because it goes against every fiber of my body, but my number one job, as a father, is to protect my children. There's just so much more to consider being a parent than there was when we were growing up.

Trying to take the cell phone away from my granddaughter is like trying to take away heroin from a junkie, only more violent.

Right?!

I get Linda Blair-like projectile vomiting for the first 15 minutes.

And then miraculously they become angels again.

I've watched my nephew become the helpful angel, ready and willing to work his way back to xbox time.
