Oh absolutely. They copied what Facebook did and turned it up to 11. Their CCP ties give TikTok its own evil spin. The Chinese basically planted a mental health bomb among American teenagers.
That doesn’t make Facebook the good guy though. In fact, they made it ridiculously easy for TikTok to come up with an even more addictive product.

- pratyushag2 4y agoFunny. At first I laughed and the googled [0]. The response would suggest that either chinese teens are immune or china is blocking it in most of china. Or something else, but we know that the users are not in china. 0: https://www.statista.com/statistics/1299807/number-of-monthly-unique-tiktok-users/ https://www.statista.com/statistics/1299807/number-of-monthl...

- nisegami 4y agoCalling it a clone feels misleading to me. They're both made by ByteDance. It's more akin to two instances of a product (with some customizations on each).

- Heliosio 4y agoThats not the point. China controls it much more so that they have to make the algo addictive different. Instead of promoting sex, they need to show helpfull videos (in theory)
