I don’t get why people like you are being dishonest. Just admit you like TikTok and don’t want it to go. You don’t need to frame it as a supposed free speech issue, I would respect your option more if you were honest.

Either way, I don’t feel like hearing more about your body, so I’m blocking you too.

Why the fuck would you tell me to respond in a specific way and also say you're blocking me? So dramatic.

Yes, I like TikTok. Even if I hated it it wouldn't change my opinion on this. I use pretty much all popular social media from time to time except for Snapchat and Instagram. I'm not being dishonest. I was never hiding anything.

You're entire position is that this is okay because social media is bad, but that had zero impact on Congress's decision. It's like the government bulldozing your neighbor's house for a road and saying "That person was annoying, this is a good thing."
