    That’s what’s happening now. They are being regulated.

    They don’t want to follow the regulations, so they’re being kicked out. Regulated.

      Like what? What laws have they broken? I believe there were the recent default privacy settings for kids which they fixed 3 years ago .

      So what laws and regulations are being broken so consistently that tok needs to be banned.

          I’m not agreeing with the shittyreddit guy, but this is a toxic response. The onus is on the person stating a claim to provide proof and evidence of the claim, not to make a claim and then tell others to Google it.

              Come on, dude. I’m still not agreeing with the other guy, but you know you’re being toxic. This isn’t cool.

                I’m not claiming a new scientific technique here. I’m just referencing publicly known and available information. There’s a world of difference between them. I am not going to give APA citations for the presumption the sky is blue. Stop encouraging laziness. There’s a line between them, and you’re way into the territory of enabling.

                  Nope, still wrong my dude.

                  If you make a claim, you cannot get upset when someone asks for proof. Since you made the claim, it’s your responsibility to provide the proof. Stop being so butt hurt about it.

                  If anything, you’re coming off as the last one here.
