UK US to ban tik tok?

My job prevents me from using apps on my phone. 

I loved my flip phone and had it for years, until my job needed to have a higher level of access to me while I am working. The need for them to send and process documents in near real time, made it necessary for me to switch to a more advanced phone.

This same job makes me highly vulnerable to apps, so I am unable to use any app the fire wall considers unstable or risky.  I don't have any apps on my phone, except what is required for the job.

I have never seen a Tick Tock video, except from a meme or included in a video, or embedded in a post. I don't do Twitter or Facebook. I don't do Instagram, Tinder, Plenty of Fish, Snap Chat, or any of the others, but I do deal with victims on a regular basis that have fallen victim to the illegal activities that commonly take place on those apps.

Parents really need to be more aware of what they are placing in the hands of their children. Nothing on the internet is innocent. unless you control it.

Very wise not using apps to be honest Nightsky. I agree parents do need to take more responsibility and awareness of what there children do on the smartphones. Trouble is a lot of parents dont mind the children on them all the time, As it keeps them quiet and occupied! Thus making the parents lives easier! I know of drug dealers adding people on Snapchat here to try and boost trade for them. These apps are downloaded millions of times and virtually non policed too. A real shame
