Well, tiktok is a Chinese spy app so I'm for the ban on it, that in itself makes it different than other social media apps. And it's not just spying on random citizen its collecting all your data in your phone, behaviors, etc. That's the thing they weren't going to ban it if the parent company which is connected to the ccp divested itself from them. Which isn't interfering with the free market as tiktok will claim bc its operated connected to a hostile foreign government.I'm a bit torn on this issue. On one hand if they ban TikTok...they will eventually end up banning pretty much any app or website they don't like. We all know they will do that. However tho...TikTok is trash and has an obvious negative effect on people and probably hurts society as a whole. So which side do you take here?
As far as the app itself, yeah it's pretty much a bio weapon. There's been study after study that shows that the way it's algorithm and swipe function are set up that it's literally eating away ppls gray matter and making them dumber bc its jacks your dopamine all up. There's a reason China itself has banned the app.
