That’s not at all the same as banning the algorithm.

It’s not the same, no. I provided the link because it’s what I assume the OP is referring to.

Limiting use to 40 minutes is not a ban but it still shows a view that extended exposure to it is harmful. To turn it on its head, if more than 40 minutes is viewed harmful for Chinese youth, why not American?

You know they did that with video games too.. Should we do that here?

It's a clear sign the international version of TikTok, because of it's addictiveness and content, would never be allowed for a single minute in China by the people that know the most about what it is, and what is does.

What more do you need to know?

If it was a legal requirement for Chinese apps in China, and this is the path for societal heath then why not pass that law for all social apps in the US?

Blanket content bans are the stuff of dictatorships, but restricting access to demographics that could be most harmed by it (children for example) is a good idea, and I wish the US would look into it.

Maybe the "community notes" model isn't so bad after all
