    So you see this as specifically a tiktok problem and not a tech problem? Do you think it won’t/hasn’t happened elsewhere, and will be only a tiktok problem? I don’t use tiktok, or care about it but I feel like every problem with it is something endemic to social media platforms run by businesses atm.

      Sorry, just blurting an admittedly off-topic idea. No, I don’t think TikTok is the problem here…

      But why isn’t TikTok banned? It is cancer.

        So is all social media. People were saying the same about Facebook. People are saying the same about Twitter. People are also saying the same about reddit. TikTok is just the main popular right now.

          People were right about facebook and twitter, and arent even that wrong about reddit.
