‘Life was awesome before this,’ the model lamented. Chrissy Teigen has proposed the government implement a 12-hour social media shutdown after 6 p.m. to prevent it from consuming peoples’ lives. “Let’s talk TikTok. Everyone is bummed. ‘OMG, it’s going to be shut down,’” Teigen said. “It’s on a hiatus for now. It’s going to come back.”.
“I personally think that one day there will be the most incredible rule,” Teigen continued. “I think the government, or some kind of ethics committee — somebody — should shut off social media between 6 p.m and 6 a.m. Leave it all up. Everyone gets to do anything they want, but only between 6 a.m. and 6 p.m. Shut it off. Done.
“I come from the days where we had nothing and then we saw something,” she added, lamenting life before social media. “Guys, life was great. Life was awesome before this. I know it’s hard to see it now. But it’s doable. It’s very doable,” she said. “This doesn’t have to be our lives. And I say this for myself as well because — obviously — I’m on here [social media] right now doing this. But it doesn’t have to define us or be our whole lives.”.
For a few hours over the weekend, TikTok was made unavailable in the U.S., sending its millions of American-based users into a tailspin. “Sorry, TikTok isn’t available right now. A law banning TikTok has been enacted in the U.S. Unfortunately, that means you can’t use TikTok for now,” a message read. “We are fortunate that President Trump has indicated that he will work with us on a solution to reinstate TikTok once he takes office. Please stay tuned!”.
