Interesting to note here: getting preteens to confusedly call Congress with threats of self harm and questions like "what is Congress" with a push notification is not the best plan

You seem to be missing the point.

in fact the US is stricter on drugs and alcohol than a lot of it's peer nations

This is exactly why I posted my comment: Those things are regulated since they have age restrictions/bans/taxes(tarrifs?). TikTok doesn't have any of those. It's not like you can tax TikTok use like you can tax alcohol use so I don't understand your comparison with Smirnoff.
