TikTok Sucks
TikTok Sucks
It's very clear that TikTok causes brain rot:
- hours upon hours of scrolling;
- damaged attention spans;
- boring lip sync "memes";
- whatever the fuck my little brother is watching;
- KKKringy song over equally KKKringe footage;
- TWs for almost literally anything. I've seen [TW: Aesthetic];
- iPad kids
You know? This applies to YT shorts. Now my attention span is so short I can't even read theory for 5 minutes without thinking "What's on TikTok?"
Let's not even forget the KKKringe-ass use of 733tspeak, wtf man.
If I ever have kids, I'd waste my entire bank account just to stop them from getting in this hellhole of a site.

Yes, TikTok is a nightmare and pushes ideology, softcore pornography, mindless dopamine hits and affects children of several countries. The Chinese company takes the opportunity that there are no legislation to regulate the content of these social media, so they push the most addictive content possible, in hopes to profit from marketing.
China has a regulation of social media, hence why the Chinese TikTok (Douyin) does not push this kind of content in the country.
I plan on having TikTok banned after the revolution.
Just try not to fuel the ideological discourse to ban TikTok because this serves the interest of US monopolies on social media, who directly benefit from the banning of TikTok and regain monopoly on discourse and public opinion. More like opposition to banning but a demand to regulate TikTok, is a much better discourse. In fact, a regulation on social media in general.
US state department already has full control over the ideological bent of TikTok. Regardless of what the media and reddit brainlets say, the CPC does not control TikTok. The version of it used in China is called Douyin or something like that and is governed by a different set of rules.
TikTok was being forced to sell ownership to an American holder. I think Oracle and Microsoft were in contention at one point. Suddenly this requirement was relinquished and some NATO folks were given key position in TikTok. Mintpress News article about it.
This context becomes even more important to know in light of the recent moves in the EU and Canada to block TikTok from being installed on government devices. Blocking all social media on such devices makes sense, both in terms of productivity and security. Blocking one app because it's associated with China in everyone's head is just another bit of the current yellow peril propaganda campaign.
