When TikTok mobilized its users to lobby Congress, it backfired spectacularly.

Interesting to note here: getting preteens to confusedly call Congress with threats of self harm and questions like “what is Congress” with a push notification is not the best plan

    3/4 of those are literally allowed in the United States and most of the rest of the world (in fact the US is stricter on drugs and alcohol than a lot of it’s peer nations.) And nobody’s forcing Smirnoff to sell to AB InBev.

      You seem to be missing the point.

      in fact the US is stricter on drugs and alcohol than a lot of it’s peer nations

      This is exactly why I posted my comment: Those things are regulated since they have age restrictions/bans/taxes(tarrifs?). TikTok doesn’t have any of those. It’s not like you can tax TikTok use like you can tax alcohol use so I don’t understand your comparison with Smirnoff.
