It doesn't matter if it's controlled by the Chinese government or an oligarch. The damage is the same. Remove TikTok today and it's another form of social media

It doesn't matter if it's controlled by the Chinese government or an oligarch. The damage is the same. Remove TikTok today and it's another form of social media tomorrow. Algorithms trained to increase addictions are the problem.
- sanderjd 2y agoIt does matter. Both things are a problem. Just for different reasons.
- 6P58r3MXJSLi 2y ago> It does matter. Both things are a problem in theory in practice people in the US clearly demonstrated that they don't care, as long as their hunger for instant gratification is satisfied.
- sanderjd 2y agoThis is like saying that in theory heroin is a problem but in practice people have demonstrated that they don't care because lots of people do heroin.
- 6P58r3MXJSLi 1y agoNo. Heroin it's a problem and it's in fact listed among the banned substances. TikTok is not banned and when rumors spread about the government wanting to shut it down, people protested. I've never seen people protesting for heroin, honestly. So, no! your analogy is faulty.
