Yup, instead of playing outside and talking to each other they're sat inside gaming and/or talking on social media.

BBC lunchtime news says that tik tok could be banned by the UK & the USA over security concerns because it is Chinese owned.

If they refuse to sell, nobody wants to or can afford to buy it, 'it will be removed from app stores, won't receive any updates and wither away'.

This isn't related to trolling/the Online Safety Act, but could be an indication as to how our Government will attempt to block
apps that don't comply with the Act.

A Bill requiring this has been passed and is to be passed to President Biden to sign.
