More information comes out about Tik Tok ban.

The potential TikTok ban in the U.S. has stirred up a lot of emotions, especially for those who rely on the platform for entertainment, connection, or even income. Earlier this year, many were caught off guard by the possibility of losing access to the app, as Congress cited concerns about its impact on teenagers. Recent documents reveal that TikTok was aware of the platform’s addictive nature and its harmful effects, particularly on young users, which adds a new layer to the conversation. It’s alarming to see that not only was the platform aware of these issues, but the harm was reportedly intentional. From my experience as a TikTok user, I can agree that the platform can have negative effects, even when the content itself seems harmless or positive. Spending too much time on any app can be damaging, especially when it pulls you in without you realizing how much time you’ve spent. It’s a reminder that we all need to be mindful of how much we consume and how it affects our mental health. While TikTok has provided a space for creativity and income for many, it’s important to consider whether the benefits outweigh the risks, especially for younger, more impressionable users. What are your thoughts? Should TikTok be banned, or is there a way to make it safer for everyone?

This book is not a rejection of God, love, or community, it is a reckoning with how they are practiced. Through personal reflection and cultural observation, Smith challenges performative faith, unbalanced sacrifice, conditional love, and the pressure to build legacies at the expense of integrity. Written for readers navigating disillusionment, spiritual fatigue, relational grief, and personal growth, No Earthly Good offers clarity without certainty and peace without perfection. It inv...
