100%. If you are a wholesome person, it will be wholesome. If you are hateful, there's so much hate on tiktok.

  Some content may be wholesome, but the dopamine-stimulating AI algorithms that abuse human psychology are never wholesome. And we should never justify the dopamine abuse with "people have the power to choose" because that never worked out with cigs, opioids, crack, gambling, or any other addictive activity or substance.

    I agree with this but I don't think the solution is banning by law. The solution for all of these substances you mention is education, prevention, and treatment. Just like with banning alcohol, people will get around it and find even less healthy ways to feed their addictions. I mean Instagram already stole tiktok's functionality, now they just need to tune their algorithms to match the same level of dopamine drip that tiktok supplies. Trust me, I'm aware of how addictive tiktok is, I had to swear off it after finding myself multiple hours deep in scrolling holes multiple times. But banning one platform (over something unrelated, privacy/data concerns) will do nothing to stem social media addiction.

  You just described every big social media platform.
