Lol. Without looking up anything I can tell you not more than 50 kids have died from laundry detergent digestion in the last 5 years. I'd love to be proven wrong about this. And even among those some will be actual accidents since children ate detergents long before TikTok. That spike in poisoning is probably due to fentanyl since this data includes people younger than 19. Drug use has increased a lot in teenagers in the last few years. So stop antagonizing a fucking app to support censorship and start seeing the real problems out there.

"New data show relatively low use of illicit substances, yet overdose death rates among teens have risen in recent years"

Oops. But right! China Good!

I don't need to antagonize anything. The USA (or ANY sovereign nation) has the right to limit another government's/country's holdings within it's own borders. That's it. Tiktok is operating here in the USA... The USA can kick them out if they will not divest their Chinese stakes. There's nothing to antagonize here. I don't actually care about the argument that this graph claims to make, just pointing out that Tiktok definitely has SOME percentage of a representation on the graph as well.

Considering that the Chinese Government only owns 1% stake in Bytedance, it's interesting that the Chinese government has a board seat on the company isn't it? https://www.nasdaq.com/articles/beijing-takes-stake-board-seat-in-bytedances-key-china-entity-the-information-2021-08-16

Usually you need to get voted in, and need to be a larger stakeholder than simply 1%... This alone is enough to claim there's foul play. Yet you all are screaming from the top of your lungs "My rights"... As if you couldn't post whatever the fuck you want literally ANYWHERE else.

and start seeing the real problems out there.

I see a common feature of BOTH problems. Do you? And it's not racism for me to call that out regardless of what bullshit you concoct in your head.
