Lock them out

The US Senate is finally starting to address a serious problem, social media or realistically unsociable media as it considers a potential ban on TikTok although more because of its China links. The only short-sighted thinking here is that they didn't include the rest of the social media web devoted to bullying, baiting, and believing the unbelievable. Cat videos don't balance the scales.

It is odd that something which has so much potential for positive use is misused by a small but vocal group that might be better to leave their dingy basements and head out into the sun for a walk.  We need to spread a positive message, not online but by person to person.
