- dontreact 4y agoThere have been repeated reports of negative outcomes as a result of TikTok trends. There have been investigations into the amount of information the app collects and it is far beyond what other apps do (all without user consent). The app is clearly highly addictive. What sorts of proof would convince you that this is an addictive app that is causing harm?
