6. Do you pay attention to the news?

Chinese have hacked much of our telecom infrastructure, high level government officials, and who knows what else. There is a cold cyber war running and the general public isn't paying attention. All they care about are their lolz vidz and endless scrolling on time suck social media.

None of the social media empires are great, but this one is foreign owned by a nation state who has shown aggressive action against our country. The tiktok app could easily be used to do harm to our country if they so wish. Even something simple like faking a "banking emergency" that goes viral or something which causes chaos in our financial marketplace.
