The Biden administration said Friday it would again delay a decision on a regulation aiming to ban menthol-flavored cigarettes, citing the “historic attention” and “immense amount of feedback” on the controversial proposal by the Food and Drug Administration.

“This rule has garnered historic attention and the public comment period has yielded an immense amount of feedback, including from various elements of the civil rights and criminal justice movement,” Health and Human Services Secretary Xavier Becerra said in a statement.

    TikTok users are manipulated into watching videos praising Osama bin Laden

    Even if they don’t agree with the content, it might stretch the Overton window enough that they accept anti-American propaganda as something other people actually believe

    I just don’t watch it based on personal choice, but I’m worried about young people whose opinions about the world are still quite plastic

        I’m not arguing for censorship. I never said I supported the ban. I’m saying it’s not for no reason
