I think you're confusing winning a game with living life. The reason we don't use steroids is we institutionally value living a healthy life more highly than winning a game. China-TikTok is unhealthy in a different way than USA-TikTok but it's still unhealthy. And while USA-TikTok has issues I'm not sure Facebook is any better, so the question is how we come up with generally protective rules.
Really I think the EU has a good approach with GDPR and we need to copy that. Banning TikTok or putting special rules on them is maybe a better reaction than doing nothing whatsoever but it's kneejerk and does very little to solve the fundamental problems.

- engineer_22 3y agoI think the steroid ban is not for the benefit of the professional competitors, but for the impressionable public. It is a tragedy when our young people are harmed by PEDs because most of them do not go on to become super-atheletes and are left maimed by the experience. But I am just guessing. China may also have an official public statement that they do not use PEDs, while wink wink nod nod anything to gain attention and glory for CCP on the international stage is worth the sacrifice. These games we play are strange indeed.
