Do you say that as an active user of TikTok? I scroll TikTok. My feed has been curated basically to show me exclusively dumb silly content (memes), cooking videos, etc.
If I were to scroll Instagram Reels, it'd be the same content. I'd be willing to bet whatever creators post on TikTok, also post on IG.
How is TikTok "home of toxic Chinese social attack" but IG reels (with the same content) not?
- worrycue 4y agoThere is no point asking for evidence, they aren’t “convicting” based on evidence. They are instead taking preliminary precautions based on the fact that the technology can be abused and that it’s controlled by a hostile foreign power.
- juve1996 4y agoAgreed, we need to regulate social media in some way, period, especially for people under 18, not just TikTok. If TikTok demonstrably moves towards subversive behavior then it should frankly be banned. Until then regulate and allow like other social media.
- srcreigh 4y agoTiktok showed me lots of NDP (alt liberal party Canada) and aboriginal activism during Covid. No real searches for that stuff. Anyways. What if TikTok manipulates half of us? Sow discord. Or gets us hooked now same as others but wields the power to manipulate later for important reason. It’s not about quality of content here vs there, it’s about the risk of foreign national having so much influence.
