I'm 63 and I don't want to lose my TikTok (via latimesopinion )
Despite Biden’s recent threat to the Chinese-owned app, a national ban is unlikely, and a forced sale would get messy.
Within a few months, my relationship to TikTok deepened, a development that flabbergasted most of my friends. TikTok’s algorithm began to send me videos that revealed lives quite foreign from my own. @TheKathyProject showed me a family coping with a sister fading from early onset Alzheimer’s. I watched her adjust to her new life in a nursing home. @Roseinchina1 showed the life of a Ugandan woman married to a Chinese man in a rural village in eastern China’s Zhejiang province.
One of the most meaningful “connections” I formed was with @DylanMulvaney, a gay actor who transitioned to female in March 2022. Mulvaney created a series, “Days of Girlhood,” in which she shared her journey as a woman with all its successes and tribulations. Viewers saw her delight in dressing in feminine clothes and frustration at not being able to shave after a laser hair removal procedure.

TikTok ban gets final approval by Montana's GOP legislatureMontana lawmakers have given final passage to a bill banning the social media app TikTok in the state. The measure now goes to Republican Gov. Greg Gianforte. He declined to say Friday whether he will sign it, but he has already banned TikTok from government-owned devices. The state House voted 54-43 to pass the bill, which goes further than bans in place in nearly half the states and the U.S. federal government that prohibit TIkTok on government devices. Supporters of the ban say TikTok can be used by China to spy on U.S. users. Opponents say it violates people's First Amendment rights. A TikTok spokesperson has vowed a legal challenge to the measure's constitutionality.
