Tiktok is corrupting, 6 year olds twerking now

[Basman]

I don't know how involved you are as a guardian, but perhaps you could speak with the school if you have some legit concerns (parent-teacher meetings, etc).

I don't know about teachers neglecting traditional gender roles over neoliberal "build-a-bear" gender constructs. I feel like that is easy to take out of context and blow out of proportion without any evidence. Maybe talk with your sis if you are concerned about how she feels. What her perspective is.

Kids doing edgy stuff isn't anything new though. They don't really understand what they are doing, just that it goes a bit against the grain. They understand when they are being edgy by the reactions of their peers and adults. I believe edgyness is stimulating to still developing people because it lets them explore the complexities of life (not just the safe and approved facets).

I remember when I was a kid, back in 7th grade (Ca. early 2010s) we had a talent competition at school where the kids would go in groups and arrange a piece to show off to their parents and classmates. I kid you not, the last piece was a bunch of girls just straight up twerking at a 100+ people, most of them parents. That shit's messed up. Kids are weird.

@Danioover9000 Ok

[Devin]

How about......

 

Parents start parenting, they should have already been lining up young kids about the world. Tiktok isn't the problem it's just A catalyst.

Tiktok is not a place for kids.

Monkey see, monkey do like tiktok.

Tiktok can abuse a child in levels adults can't understand.

My tiktok ban has done wonders.

Saved a lot of money by not buying makeup for a 6 year old as well ?

Let kids be kids.

Tiktok algo is programmed with a purpose.

Tiktok is your substitute parent.

Letting kids be kids means not infantilizing them, letting them explore and you cleaning up the mess.

[D2sage]

@Devin they dont need an app made for stupid chimps to explore ?

Would you show porn to a kid under 6 years old? Why not? Let them explore.

Porn is now proven by neuroscience in lab that it lights up same areas in the brain as heroin. 

Wonder what areas tiktok beams up ?

Being arm-chair philosophers aint working in tech.

ticktock isn't porn, do you not allow them on the internet as well? Have you seen what's on television?

Parent your kid, if they can't survive ticktock then you're not parenting.

Not porn but still a dopamine depleter, which is bad business for  a young brain. 

Everyone can survive a chimp app with degenerate content, but it leaves a mark on a brain just like porn does to a young boy.

It leaves trails when the kid grows up. 

A study on tiktok and sm:

Our series suggests that social media may contribute to the spread of functional neurologic symptom disorder, in a way previously requiring physical proximity

https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC8564820/

Study was on 14 year old.

Imagine a 6 year old, with a brain still being wired.

Its not a topic of parenting ?

Yeah, if your kid wants to spend a bunch of time on an app like that, you're not parenting. But there's a huge difference between them being raised well enough to have better interests, and banning it.

[D2sage]

Banning it for the neurological damage it has shown  to cause.

That way she can indulge in interests like football and not fry dopamine on tiktok.

   Hahaha, that also won't work either. Good luck stopping yourself being a parent, when you see your child doing something stupid or life threatening, and you need to interject fast.

   The sad part here, is looking at how China handles their Tik Tok compared to the USA's. China restricted parts of Tik Tok from children, limited their time used, and flooded the zone with educational material than entertainment, so you see Tik Tok shorts of educational stuff versus entertaining mind numbing topics. In this specific case, China is outperforming the USA and other western countries.

   Ideally, the west should have outright destroyed and banned Tik Tok, but of course, it would be Donald Trump's fault for banning Tik Tok cuz he's racist or Xenophobic. Well, the well is poisoned now, is what hope do we have of reversing the neuroplasticity damage that Tik Tok does?

[Danioover9000]

   Like it's considered racist to ban Tik Tok, even though there's national security risks with that app and brain damaging effects like ADD/ADHD and other garbage information that indoctrinates stupidity in the younger generation. I'm willing to bet at the dead pool, that China could send over Xenomorphs into America, and that trying to ban the parasitical life forms is xenophobic, and we should welcome them instead!

I didn't say not to interject, I said parent which means interject, that doesn't mean banning it though it means parenting as in teaching your child and role modeling, the kids on ticktok aren't of parents meditating, doing yoga, gardening and cooking, they're from parents yelling at facebook on their phone while shoveling in mcdonalds on the couch watching something heinous on television.

[Devin]

I don't think TickTock is the Achilles heel.

Trump was right in banning this crap. Don't know why they reversed it. It's a national security threat.

   I think it's because of ByteDance company that owns Tik Tok, they're already have a formula and buying up other businesses. They're even trying to get into the music sector and gaming sector, buying up smaller companies and talents.

   Absolutely a national security risk given that within China's territory, ByteDance has to comply and give data when the CCP requests it, I'm surprised they don't ban the app outright like India.
