I’m not against regulation of social media such as TikTok, not because of any percieved foreign control of the narrative, but rather simply because of its harm on individuals (addiction, toxicity, dysmorphia, surveillance capitalism, to name a few things).
Destroy all of them. We don’t need social media. Keep our opinions to ourselves like the old days.
social media is one of the first places where closeted queer kids can be themselves and meet a community of people. social media is important for them we just need one free of disinformation and toxicity
I know this is in poor taste but if your argument is less than 1% of the population gains from it then their is no argument for destroying it. Cons outweigh the pros.
My problem with banning TikTok is that it’s not because it’s an app that harvests data and causes psychological and social harm, but that we’re banning it because it’s not an American app that harvests data and causes psychological and social harm.
