    If I ever have children, TikTok will be one of the first things I’ll have blocked for them.

      If your parents do that for you, you’d find a way around it. As someone with no kids, it’s something I’ve thought about, but I feel like there has to be another solution.

        Yeah, maybe you’re right. Seems like a better idea would be to just talk to the kids and get them convinced that it’s trash and/or find them something more productive to do.

        Yeah, the old “strict parents make sneaky kids” thing is unfortunately very true. You won’t stop the kids from doing it. You’ll just lose the ability to monitor them when they inevitably do it behind your back anyways.

        Them finding a way around it , hopefully technically, at least makes them grow their problem solving, motivation and rebellion skills

      Right before Facebook, Instagram, Xitter, and probably some other social scourges that I forget about.
