  I’m not saying it’s a good parental choice. But the ban can help the kids.

    I doubt it, parents will just move them to YouTube or some other platform. The TikTok ban is intended to limit misinformation by the CCP, and that doesn’t really matter for this age of kids.

      I’m a parent. YouTube is watched but you can see what they are watching.

        The more important thing to me is building habits. I care less about how much they’re watching vs how they’re spending their time generally.

        We have a rule where our kids need to read to be able to watch/play games, and we cap at 2hr/day. If they read 1hr, they can watch/play for 30min. My kids seem to have a pretty good mix of reading, watching/playing, and playing outside w/ friends, so I think it works.

  No blaming the CCP on psyops on Americans.
