  At this time, the platform is less the issue than the fact that humans have fallen for the spell of social media. Because there is no "gatekeeper" or news editor, information can be spread by anyone regardless of how smart/stupid the idea/information is. The more idiotic the idea, the more people tend to let it take hold. TikTok is just the latest to be hit by it. People are the problem. Having said that, the platforms have now learned to amplify the "trending" ideas to ensure more and more see it via algorithmic promotion rather than organic spreading. If one platform's algos are better at promoting crap, does that mean the platform is bad/worse that's the problem, or that people's unsatiable thirst for idiocy is to blame?
