and sold. She said she could look for something on Amazon or do a search for something and it would be in her FB shortly. She's right, that has happened to me and my Data has been breached a few times. She prefers TikTok but she joined this site because she is worried about the ban. She uses the tiktok app for a lot of things. Someone did math tutoring and she got some help on her algebra 2 years ago, she loves to shop there. She uses a prepaid Visa when she shops on TikTok and she has bought some really cool things.
