Taken is my first favorite game.

TikTok's blowing up your phone with alerts urging you to fight a ban. Here's the deal:

• TikTok doesn't want to get banned, and they're asking YOU to contact lawmakers to stop it.

Before you call:

• Read the alert closely: What law are they talking about? Why don't they want it to pass?
• Do some digging: Search online for "[name of law] TikTok" or "[name of law] explained." Are there other sides to the story?
• Think for yourself: Do you agree with TikTok's arguments? Are there other things to consider?

Then you can decide:

• Call your lawmakers (if you want!): The alert will tell you how.
• Voice your opinion online: Let people know what you think!
• Just chill: It's your call.

The important thing is to be informed before you take action.
