If Tiktok can be brought back then end all of these porn bans

While I (and all of BGOL) are certainly in agreement with keeping porn away from kids, we all agree that it is the parent's responsibility to filter their children's internet, as an adult, I should be able to consume the content I want to consume.

I believe this is significantly more extensive than a mere porn ban. Could he suspend other laws that are already on the books for 90 days to reevaluate them? The civil rights act?

I saw this comment on another site

Trump is not president yet. Second, the President of the United States has no authority or power to simply tell Congress or other authorities not to enforce a law that has already been instituted in this country. If he gets away with this, it would lead to a total collapse of our legal system.

I don’t believe the government should censor social media in any way—that would be a move straight out of Russia or China. However, the law was passed, and SCOTUS upheld its constitutionality. It must be enforced.

Tiktok has 170 Million American users almost half of the US population (334.9 million).
You can't just get rid of all those voices and have them go to IG to watch the same 12 reels over and over.
Older people don't get the importance and usefulness of Tiktok because they've never used it.
They still think it's 2019 and it's a dancing app.
They're stuck in the legacy FB and IG algorithm cosplaying keeping up appearances for people who they don't really like.
What about the Chinese? Who cares, Meta is stealing way more data and so is every other platform that provides a "free" service.

Alas, one final fuckup from the Biden Administration. They allow a TikTok ban at the behest of Bibi and AIPAC to quiet the Pro Palestinian crowd, then at the 11th hour they say they won’t enforce the ban, which allows Trump to swoop in and take credit for lifting the ban. Gen Z rejoices more now than they have throughout the entire 4 years of Biden’s presidency (unless you were among the few to have your student loans waived).

Gen Z isn't like the previous generations. Dumb shit like this only works on people who think Nancy Pelsoi is a progressive.
