     Now, addicts are very interesting people.

     As soon as the dancey videos are threatened, you will see

     - Zoomers suddenly be interested in third-party app stores, sideloading apps, and jailbreaking their devices
     - A massive spike in Android device sales because these allow sideloading
     - Potentially, acts of terrorism and violence from addicts going cold turkey

     TikTok wasn't just able to get zoomers to pick up a phone, but to call congress. If that isn't proof that it represents complete control over them, I'm not sure what is.

     It's literally the reason this bill exists. If they can convince zoomers to use a telephone, what else can they do?
