Every social media platform with a feed uses some system to rank content for its individual users. This can be abused to subtly influence users.
You say TikTok has never harmed you but the truth is you probably wouldn’t know. You just changed your mind about certain things over time.
That problem is certainly not specific to TikTok and I personally avoid also YouTube, Reddit or anything Facebook but it’s not hard to believe that a Chinese or Russian platform is even less hesitant to influence elections, for example.
🤷♂️ I value the service over some theoretical harm. Tiktok has never hurt me.
It’s designed by China to hurt your country in the long run, not specifically you.
I don’t think China designed it nor are they the real threat. The problems with Ticktok are the same with Instagram and YouTube
🙄👌👍

I mean, you may feel that way but it genuinely fucks up your serotonin receptors if you’re opening it toob often
Every platform/service ever.
I know, anything sometime can be abused it should be eradicated. Let’s just take down the Internet.
You’re jumping to conclusions on what I meant. There are genuine studies linked to a rise in depression due to social media usage.
But does it provide good service for you?
Yes.
I wonder what the expected answer to this question was lol. Did they expect a no, then to swoop in with a “gotcha”?
