Should the government allow a 12-year-old to mutilate his/her private parts if a parent says so?
Nikki Haley says yes.
This alone should end her campaign.

Spending 30 Minutes on TikTok a Day Significantly Increases the Chances of Holding Antisemitic and Anti-Israeli Beliefs, Study Finds
TikTok isnāt just reinforcing a ādangerous environment for Jews,ā a survey finds ā itās creating it.

"Shocking new data indicate that using TikTok a mere 30 minutes a day increases the chance of holding āantisemitic or anti-Israelā views by 17 percent, a number far above the same correlation on other social media platforms.
Thatās the latest research from a data scientist, Anthony Goldbloom, who founded a data science company called Kaggle, which was sold to Google in 2017.
āTikTok users are more likely to believe Jewish people are dishonest in business, are disloyal to America, and have too much power in the media,ā Mr. Goldbloom writes on X, the social media platform formerly known as Twitter. He has also published the data for open viewing on GitHub.
TikTok users āare also more likely to disagree that Israel has a right to defend itself against those who want to destroy it,ā he adds, and the app is creating a ādangerous environment to Jews.ā For every one pro-Israel video view there are 54 pro-Palestinian video views, he says, adding that āFree Palestineā is a ātop-performingā hashtag on the platform.
TikTok, a Chinese social media video platform that is enormously popular with Americaās youth, has more than a billion active users each month worldwide. While TikTok, unlike Twitter or X, is not supposed to be a news platform, young people get enormous amounts of unfiltered and unedited news and information via TikTokās millions of amateur content creators.
Mr. Goldbloom tells the Sun that āthe genesis of this projectā stemmed from curiosity about a thread on X discussing whether TikTok was driving antisemitism. He set out using his data background to try to get some answers.
āSocial media companies always say theyāre a mirror, they just reflect back what society wants to see, what people engage with,ā he says. Yet, he says, survey data of 18- to 24-year-olds shows roughly a 50-50 split on the Israel-Palestine conflict. If TikTok was just a mirror of younger adults, then 98 percent of them would be anti-Israel, he adds.
āThat was kind of a puzzle,ā he says, and he and other researchers sent a private letter to TikTok to try to learn more. The letter signatories then contracted with a firm specializing in youth surveys, Generation Lab, to ask more than 1,300 adults under 30 questions about social media platform preferences, usages, and their views on a list of questions of āantisemiticā tropes.
The questions included whether ācompared to other groups, Jewish people have too much power in the mediaā and whether āJewish people chase money more than other people do.ā
The results: Spending a mere 30 minutes per day on TikTok led to an average 17 percent increase in a userās āantisemitic or anti-Israel views.ā When asked by the Sun if the survey distinguished between āantisemiticā and āanti-Israel,ā Mr. Goldbloom said it is difficult to split them because some of the sentiments discussed could be considered both anti-Israel and antisemitic.
When the researchers did distinguish between the terms, they found āspending 30 minutes or more a day on TikTok led to a 20 percent increase in antisemitic views and then a 12 percent increase in the likelihood of holding anti-Israel views,ā he said.
The numbers are the latest in growing concern that the app ā used as a regular news source by nearly a third of adults under 30 ā requires intervention from lawmakers.
In November, videos praising Osama bin Ladenās āLetter to Americaā went viral on the app, and anti-Israel content has been outnumbering pro-Israel videos by a wide margin since the October 7 Hamas attacks, as the Sun has reported. The app itself confirmed recently that the platform is taking action, as it is being flooded by fake accounts and bots that are āpromoting Hamas, hate speech, terrorism, and misinformation.ā
TikTokās policy branch has been clashing on X with a growing number of Democratic and Republican lawmakers, calling out Senator Murphy, a Democrat of Connecticut, Senator Rubio, a Republican of Florida, and a number of House members.
TikTokās policy account repeatedly says on X that āour recommendation algorithm does not āpromoteā one side of an issue over anotherā and that āhateful ideologies, including antisemitism, are not and have never been allowed on our platform.ā
