'When she does get social media, I want to have an open dialogue about the positives and negatives.'
?! She described it to me pretty accurately as a social media app that let her watch short videos , mostly of people lip syncing to music or funny dialogue.Since she didn't have her own account, she was just watching videos, not creating her own or sharing them, and she told me she also wasn't"liking" or commenting on videos, mostly because her third grade teacher had warned her class that online comments live forever and they should. Thank you, Mr. R.
When the drama died down, we had a long talk about why we've banned social media for now and how when she is old enough to have an Instagram or TikTok account, I want to have an open dialogue about the positives and negatives of her social-media life.
Ya, she responded, but she saw some weird stuff, too, like a string of videos about how no one likes tall girls."Tall boys only like shorter girls, and short boys only like short girls," she parroted from a video."No one likes tall girls.
Upon further research, I'm even more convinced that TikTok is not for my grade schooler. In February, thefor illegally collecting and using children's personal information without notifying parents. The FTC also warned that strangers can send direct messages to children with private accounts, and there had been reports of adults doing just that, presumably with ill intent, in the app's previous iteration, Musical.ly.
TikTok might be fun, but no-supervision-required, child-friendly fun? For my kid, it most definitely is not.

Of Course TERFs Have Found Common Cause With White Nationalists [UPDATED]Trans-exclusionary radical feminists (or TERFs) have in recent years partnered with right-wing groups in the United States in an effort to rollback and restrict the rights of trans people, and in particular trans women. And if an interview with a prominent British TERF and a well-known white nationalist is any indication, some are now also attempting to build alliances and find a sympathetic audience for their bigotry among white nationalists. This isn’t new or particularly surprising, but it’s disgusting all the same.
