I know bad for democracy and everything but
This app has done nothing positive for my life, arguably began my social media addiction, filled my brain with negative content at the height of COVID and severely impacted my mental health
I don't think governments should ban platforns. But do I think TikTok should have ever existed? No
And yet most of it's users are either to stupid or addicted to see the issue and just switch to RedNote, no questions asked. Which in turn nullifies the ban altogether.
It helped my spouse deal with medical trauma by finding content creators expressing similar experiences. It worked better than any of the support groups which often felt more hopeless and isolating.
At this point though my spouse just hates instagram reels and how chaotic and pointless this is shaking out to be.
If not for TikTok Israel's genocide would have gone unreported in Western media and censored on US social media.
I don’t use TikTok but I knew plenty about Israel’s actions. It was all over the internet and plenty of news sources.
Yeah because teens love opening the paper in the morning and reading about how Israel is "liberating" Palestine?
The majority of media and news learnin' is not TikTok or newspapers.
Sounds like a you problem.
it is a me problem
you want to subject yourself to doomscrolling and unresticted data collection? go ahead. i dont give 2 shits

The glass rectangle is designed to be addictive. Should we let people and companies intentionally abuse addictive designs?
