The Wall Street Journal posted a story titled “Senators Turn Child-Safety Spotlight on TikTok, Snapchat and YouTube”.
In the previous days, WSJ and the New York Times wrote about the negative effects of Instagram on children and teenagers.
Now, WSJ says that “TikTok executive is questioned over algorithms blamed for steering young users to harmful content.”
My opinion is that the problem is more complex than the algorithms of these Internet apps. In the Internet, children and adults will find new apps that fill the vacuum the ban of these apps can generate.
This was my comment in the blog of the WSJ story; “If the government bans TikTok, Snapchat and YouTube, the children will find other Internet tools to do the same they do with these apps.”
