Tony says "spying", "posting messages", "invades it", "posts benign chat logs" here but it's a screenshot from the video the company itself made advertising it. It's a blatantly fake "chat" used to illustrate the service like you'll see everywhere for all these things ever, it's not actual kids or actual users even. I thought this was the case from your screenshot of Tony's screenshot but went to libsoftiktok just to make sure, here's the relevant screenshots along with the school advertising it:View attachment 3517857View attachment 3517859
I trust online chat rooms as much as Tony was trusted to not wear his wife’s clothes without a court order.

Is Tony completely stupid or does he just think his audience is completely stupid? (Yes. He also seems to be wrong that this is something done locally by PFLAG as it clearly says "PFLAG National" in the description.)
As an aside, I'm not inherently opposed to this like libsoftiktok probably is, I think it's mostly pretty laughable that students would go to their schools website unless they have to or to make fun of it. Some gay teen wants to talk to gay teens they'll probably ask TikTok for "gay teen chat" rather than read a PDF buried on their schools website. But I also don't have any issue with libsoftiktok or anyone else saying "I don't like this" because it's a chance for others to say why it's good or not so bad or whatever. Tony obviously does because he can only understand someone criticizing something to "spread hate and promote discrimination" and demanding their wrongthink be purged from society. (Which raises questions of whether Tony thinks he's spreading hate back when he platforms and criticizes libsoftiktok to followers in his thrall.) Tony has the typical mindset of the totalitarian, no faith in his ability to convince others so he must resort to force to silence them so he can pretend they don't hold their views. (But he'll secretly never be able to stop suspecting they do and needing to find ways to expose them as thinking these "sickening" thoughts.)
I'd tell him to get a hobby because repeating a joke makes it funnier but I think one of Tony's problems is how invested he gets in his hobbies.
