The "lots of people use it argument" could be used referring to opium and lots of other great things, too, in various times and places. TikTok is terrible for your brain.
Generally, all social media feeds you what interests you. That’s sounds fine, except human behavior is more fascinated with negative narrative (it is more visceral to our psyche). The combination of that and the resultant echo chambers leads to a lot of misinformation taking root as fact with little to challenge the narrative and balance it out. Old traditional media would allow for exposure of all sorts of debate… our current time is severely lacking that counter narrative to balance out what people are consistently exposing themselves to. People are no longer taking into account dialogue from people with differing views to themselves. This creates extremes in polarization. It’s really something of a global problem… but the States with its bi-party system, perhaps is much more primed for the polarization than most. At least, that’s my understanding. By the way all social media (including western ones) do this. But perhaps TikTok leans more into feeding and incentivizing viewers into more of what they like. Personally, (on all my social media) l try “train” my digital profile by deliberately viewing a wide variety of material (including some things which l myself do not necessarily subscribe to).
TikTok owns your data, it is easy for them to access. The Chinese Communist Party owns all Chinese businesses, so it takes an e-mail maybe to access your data. Check out "Jack Ma."
I'm in China now, of course, you can use these social media but you need to connect VPN before using that social media. I'm not clear why we can't easily use it, maybe the Gov.
It's a good decision to ban it but other similar sites must be regulated so they don't rely on short attention spans and gambling-like addictive mechanics.
What happened to the Project Cambridge Analytica of Meta while we are chasing Tik Tok ? How long are we going to look for needle in the hay stack while the blue whale passes by in clear day light?
They should be more concerned about the enemy within, fox news etc
The same could be said about CNN and others like it
The GOP
the states luv tik tok!
China? I think if they were that concerned about China they would not allow China to buy US land. Why no discussion about AIPAC and their lobbying?
China bought many American game company lol.
This is a cind od policy
I never understood why we let people, or companies from other countries BUY our land. That doesn't seem like a good policy to me.
America wants to corner the social media market that's the real reason... They want any chance to shut down tiktok

American hypocrisy

TikTok的母公司是字节跳动，一家由中国共产党控制的公司，而中国共产党是一个致力于毁灭民主社会的组织，TikTok的用户数据数据完全被中国共产党控制，它能用这个工具推送其想传播的内容，很多人是意识不到的
The china gov can acess into user Tiktok's data

Someone paid to take down it.
Blame the western spirit of genocide.

@@cellb2619 TikTok can call people to protest today, it can call people to rebel in the future too.

They only want it gone so a Western platform can dominate in its place
love tik tok from usa.
Personally, I don’t even use TikTok, so I don’t care what they do with it
People around you use it, so it affects you. But you can keep your head in the sand if you want. I hear the view is to die for.
So California state citizens being dependent on a social media and getting their news from influencers.
Yeah , So American.
BUT THE GEN Z IS BEING POISONED BY THE TRSH CONTENT ON TIKTOK
India banned tiktok 4 years ago. They seem to do fine
Have you been to india? They don't really have free speech or free press. Ffs people are starving to death
