As Christmas Looms, Here’s Two Kinds Of Different

My oldest primary school age kids tell me that most of their friends have Tik Tok on their phones. The only reason this may be is that parents are sadly clueless about the soulless algorithm that "guides" the minor using the app. ... See MoreSee Less
