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?

Why You Might Be Paying More Than Your Neighbor for the Same Product

Surveillance Pricing: The Hidden Cost of Your Personal Data Have you ever noticed that prices seem to fluctuate depending on how and where you shop? Maybe you’ve used Instacart or another grocery delivery app and found that the price of your favorite milk online is higher than what you’d pay in-store. At first, these small discrepancies might seem like an unavoidable part of online shopping. But what if I told you that businesses might be charging you more based on who you are? Surveillance pricing is a practice where companies use personal data—such as your age, gender, income level, or even your location—to adjust the prices you see. Essentially, what you pay for everyday items could depend on what retailers assume you can afford. A recent Federal Trade Commission (FTC) study revealed how this type of pricing discrimination is becoming more common, with companies using advanced algorithms to analyze consumer behavior and set prices accordingly. For example, someone shopping in a low...

In the Last Days: The Church vs. The Black Israelites

In the Last Days: The Church vs. The Black Israelites Across social media, a recent viral moment has sparked intense discussion within the faith community. A prayer event led by Pastor Philip Anthony Mitchel was met with protests by a group identifying as the Black Israelites — reigniting long-standing debates about faith, race, and identity in the Black community. The confrontation, caught on video, shows the deep divide growing between traditional Christianity and movements that challenge its authority and cultural roots. The Black Israelites, also known as the Hebrew Israelites, are members of a religious movement that teaches that African Americans are the direct descendants of the ancient Israelites — the chosen people of the Bible. This belief system holds that through the transatlantic slave trade, African Americans were stripped of their true identity, history, and divine purpose. While not all Black Israelite groups are identical in their teachings, most share common beliefs: ...
