59. Tic Toc has also become a platform for handicapped kids

Mon Apr 17, 2023, 08:41 PM

Apr 2023

Hundreds of kids with severe deformities now on TicToc.. I had to join to view my grandson’s videos. He signed me up when he was messing with my phone.

So many kids born without arms and legs, beautiful young girls in wheelchairs from car accidents, teens dying from cancer, moms showing off severely disabled babies etc and the list goes on. These kids are on live TicToc where they can tell their stories and answer questions in real time. Then there are a gazillion good dancers and tons of seniors in teenage clothing doing sexy dancing - reliving their youth. Marianne Williamson is also becoming a TicToc star- I’m sure Montana hates that!

Any politician trying to ban TicToc will have lots of enemies. So many young kids making a good living on Tic Toc - like thousands a month. People sending TicToc influencers presents. A mom having triplets showing off all the baby cribs, baby clothes other TicToc users have sent her. Any politician trying to take this away from the young, will be hated by them.
