    Do they check the apps on the kids' phones every day?

    That they apparently allow young students post on social media such as Facebook (which has live video functions) during the school day is highly questionable.

    That is highly questionable.

    Thankfully the School my Boys go to don't allow it.


    Ed, you might have to think about changing your Lassie's School if they allow young students post on social media such as Facebook.

    So it's not TikTok that they've 'banned'. They've banned all social media from being used?

    Have they banned the use of smart phones?

    It's (smart phones) never been mentioned in the few years my Boys have been at School.

    They (the School) have only mentioned TikToc in their weekly Newsletter.

    My Boys don't have phones. Maybe I'm crimping their social development

    Since kids are going to be on social media whether you or schools like it or not, I would suggest it is better to start teaching them at a young age how to use it responsibly and what the inherent risks are.

    It's an easy way to make and share your own short videos.

    My, how time flies.



    TikTok tops Google as the most visited website on the internet

    Chinese startup ByteDance launched TikTok in 2016.

    https://www.cbsnews.com/news/tiktok-google-facebook-social-media-internet/



    I only go into Tiktok sporadically now. The feeds I get seem to mainly be young, comely wenches with a come hither look, grinding their booty while suggestively disrobing- up to a certain point, at which point you are urged to visit a certain web address, presumably with the lure of 'seeing more'. It got boring. It just got worse-



    'PM_Scomo' joins TikTok despite previous criticism of controversial Chinese-owned platform


    Key points:


    • Last year, the PM criticised the platform, warning it connects back to China
    • Mr Morrison has uploaded two Christmas videos
    • Comments have been disabled on Mr Morrison's posts
    • https://www.xxx.xxx.xx/news/2021-12-26/scott-morrison-tiktok-pm-chinese-social-media/100725804


    Not one to let scruples, credibility and honesty get in the way of a cheap marketing opportunity is our Scotty from Announcements.

    But I wonder, how many more aukus politicians are on TikTok? is the White House? Any Republicans? Bojo?

    China says PM on TikTok is double-standard

    China has labelled Prime Minister Scott Morrison joining social media app TikTok as a double standard.

    Mr Morrison has previously warned Australians about the Chinese-owned app and said it "connects right back to China", but he joined on Christmas Eve.
    Chinese foreign ministry spokesperson Zhao Lijian said Mr Morrison's choice of social media apps was "his own business", but added Australia should not discriminate against Chinese companies.
    "I need to reiterate that the Australian side should follow the principle of openness and market rules, stop abusing the concept of "national security" or applying double standard to serve its interests, and provide a fair, open and non-discriminatory business environment for Chinese companies," he said.
    Australia banned Chinese-owned tech giant Huawei in 2018 and has also cancelled a number of infrastructure deals citing security issues in China.
    The prime minister posted two TikTok videos on Christmas Eve and has amassed more than 33,000 followers.

    TikTok's in-app browser can monitor your keystrokes, including passwords and credit cards, researcher says

    Key points:
    • In-app browsers increase security and privacy risks
    • A computer scientist says big tech undermines trust in e-commerce
    • TikTok denies it is storing user data but confirms the existence of code


    Software engineer and security researcher Felix Krause has assessed what code is injected onto a website to gather user activity when it is opened through an app.

    This includes any ads or links clicked through a creator's profile.

    For example, any link clicked through TikTok will open within the app using the platform's in-app browser rather than a default browser like Chrome or Safari.

    The Java Script code embedded by TikTok allows the company to monitor all keystrokes — the equivalent of a keylogger — as well as every tap on the screen, and text inputs including passwords and credit card information.

    Yeah, like that’s really going to happen? It’s is a pollution of young vulnerable minds. The only people who support it are Backspin, Edmond and Armstrong. That should tell you all you need to know!

    Nwbie Dave has taken a sensible approach to what is basically, a gaming hook. As a global phenomenon, who know where it might lead?

    Carefully vetted and chosen schools are a small part of it, yes. It’s a positive start. In a time when many parents pick the nearest school for their own convenience, I have found it to be a very worthwhile endeavor.

    I support controlled, educated use. My daughter uses an account that is also on my phone so I can see what she is interacting with. She has a child's account which also limits what she can see and I'll block anything that I don't think is appropriate.

    Social media is gonna be widely accessible for children for a very long time, so by denying them it you're not helping them imo.
    I'd like to see what morning looks like
    Don't wanna drink pint after pint
    I wanna wake up without feeling sick
    But I can't cuz I'm a drug-abusing alcoholic

    Not only that but they'll be on it anyway even if parents do try and stop them.

    Kids under 13 should not use social media at all. Teenagers should have limited, controlled use only.

    Personally I don't see Tik-Tok as any worse or better than the myriad of other vacuous shite the fills the time of kids and lets face it, adults as well these days. I can quite enjoy the odd 20 minutes here and there of Tik-Tok, truth be told.

    I resisted getting a Smart phone for my 11 year-old daughter for as long as possible but Covid home schooling made it a necessity as she had to constantly take pictures and send in homework, plus show compliance with C19 testing rules, once school resumed. It's a part of life now.

    My kid spends more time on screens than I'm happy with, but who's doesn't these days, life has changed? I can't and don't want to ban it... but I monitor her online activities with the hoste of parenting tools available. I think it far better to allow it but with giving as much advice as possible. My daughter knows if bad language starts, to change channels, etc.

    You can't ban it... lets face it, most kids are more IT savvy than their parents anyway and they will find a way.

    The internet came about when we were kids in the 90s, and the righteous and the government and the church were up in arms about the ease of online pornography etc.


    Never did me any harm.
