This explains the entire push: https://twitter.com/washingtonpost/status/1636710141482479621 Capitalists don't actually like competition so instead of making a better product, they're ginning up hysteria over China to shut down their competitors.

There isn't some weird Chinese conspiracy, the world has just gotten that bad at self control Like why doesn't society push back against people who think it's okay to watch tiktok for literal hours at a time? If someone watches porn and jerks off for literal hours a day, everyone would agree that person is gross and wasting their time Explain to me how tiktok is different

The algorithm can get impressionable dumb kids/adults from zero to Joe Rogan Carnivore Diet vids to Nazis way faster than YouTube or Facebook ever could so uhhhhh success?

Instagram is really what fucks kids up. Teenagers entire social lives play out on Instagram. Real life poo poo is just on the side because its not visible to everyone else.

Hmm....maybe our society sucks and puts too much of the wrong kind of pressure - grades, getting into college, etc - on young people these days. No. It's Tik Tok that's wrong!

Sophy Wackles posted:"China is just misunderstood and they would never do anything bad!!" oh china do much bad. i dunno who in the thread is suggesting they don't. but banning TikTok has nothing to do with all the human rights abuses. it's economic and yeah sure some security in there, but mostly, not even hidden by the statements the US is making, it's about the money. .

I'm sure banning it is more rooted in greed and protectionism than any genuine interest in children's welfare. Still, nothing makes me feel more like a boomer than watching a habitual user scroll through TikTok or Instagram. Like skipping through videos every couple of seconds for an hour or more straight. People look like they're in a trance. Reminds me of that sci-fi trope about wasting away in VR or whatever. Back on my day we measured attention spans in minutes, not seconds! I hate change!!
