They can't decide what the rationale is for banning a loving app: mental health? Scary Chinese propaganda? Teens being stupid teens online? Who knows except that all of modern society's problems can be placed at the feet of a single social media app, according to the fossils in congress.

Misinformation and misogyny ran rampant on TikTok, with accounts like those of Andrew Tate, the self-styled “alpha male” recently detained in Romania on allegations of human trafficking and rape, gaining popularity among boys at Poon’s school.

“It’s just concerning how [these accounts] have so much impact on the youth, and it has so much grip on what we think and how it affects our behavior,” said Poon – though he added that misinformation is a major problem on all social media platforms, not just TikTok.

Experts have long worried about the impact of TikTok on young people’s mental health, with one study claiming the app may surface potentially harmful content related to suicide and eating disorders to teenagers within minutes of them creating an account.

All of these guys are also on youtube as their main platform and have much higher viewership there because youtube as a whole has a much larger user base than tiktok

but that's already owned by a fully compromised and fully american company so i guess nothing is to be done

Yeah, I think there was some uniquely insidious poo poo about the way TikTok weaponizes the endless scroll algorithm, but lol at every reason the media/gov gives for why it has to go, as if every single complaint isn't something also being done by every major American company with any kind of digital footprint. Even the endless TikTok scroll algorithm is being replicated by other platforms as best as they can manage it. This whole thing is just a bad paint job to cover up some truly deranged dying empire surveillance state poo poo to get out ahead of coming unrest and social collapse.

I wonder if the the majority of tiktok users fall in that 1-2 hour a day mark or it's like an alcohol thing where the 1-2 a day is the average of an incredibly skewed "most have like 0-2 a week, but some have like 12 a day" situation.

It's definitely the latter. Funny enough, I can believe that the most heaviest consumers of Tiktok are the creators themselves since they always are watching for the next trend so they can hop on it and make a video of it
