Sure, I don't think any disagrees that there's side effects that aren't good for anyone, never mind teens.

But there's nothing that you've written that's specific to Tik Tok. It's not substantially worse than American alternatives. Facebook has known for years the negative effect, study after study has come out. What legislation was passed to protect that?

So why target Tik Tok specifically?

Canada also has its own population of total fucks. We keep them in the prairies. However like those states, it might be leaning more towards wanting that?

Again, non of those have been legally banned in the US.

I'm not saying those companies don't exist? Just answering the question of who the top commenter was referring to, which in my opinion is Tik Tok because it's the only one being legally banned.

Tik Tok is the only tencent company I know if that's been labeled a national security risk.

Tik Tok is what they're referring to

You are using a device capable of finding the information you so desire. Instead you decided to contribute you whataboutism.

That hasn’t always been true. This meme is older than Microsoft being open source friendly.

A) I thought it was up to individuals not groups.

B) we can’t even get people to agree the earth is round. You really expect to be able to change individual habits?

So you honestly believe the largest polluters will just stop polluting if consumers change habits?

Because like I cited, the vast majority of pollution comes from corporations. Not people.

Because even if all individuals stopped polluting today magically, it still wouldn’t be enough.

Take that energy you’re using to hold individuals accountable and hold those actually polluting accountable.

EDIT

You seem to want to blame anyone but yourself so you can remain comfortable and do nothing at all to help.

You seem to be holding everyone but the organizations that are actually polluting.

I refuse to put the blame on individuals for climate change 100 companies are responsible for 71% of emissions

https://amp.theguardian.com/sustainable-business/2017/jul/10/100-fossil-fuel-companies-investors-responsible-71-global-emissions-cdp-study-climate-change

There are plenty of things for individual things people can do, but the responsibility rests on corporations for this mess. And it can’t be individuals to clean it up.

And before someone starts saying that corporations only driven by individual consumerism, what other choice do we have? They literally make things to break more.

It’s just greed at the end of the day.
