How will this work?
No clue how it will work, or if it CAN work. But I do admire Australia for recognizing that there is a problem, and trying to prevent children from wasting their brains, their time, and their potential.
Banning will never work . As we all know young adults are very good at finding ways to do things when we prohibit them.
The focus has to be to teach them how to use social media to their benefit and not to abuse the use of them.
It was two days ago when I first landed on TikTok. Previously, it required to register to view its content, and I never bothered. This time, their website allowed me to browse and, based on my location, offered mostly content from Argentina. It was all a series of videos of teenage girls wearing makeup in poor houses being silly in front of the camera and teenage boys playing a variety of video games recording themselves. I don't get the point. I am glad I am too old to be sucked into it.
I was out working a 40 hour week when I was 15. No mobile phones back then of course just the daily newspaper and dirty magazines.
TikTok is on the verge of being banned in the USA. I've seen a few TikTok videos but frankly, it's all attention seeking crap.
