this is meaningfully concerning. TikTok is a great platform for entertainment, and a terrible one for news. its capacity to cause harmful social contagions is unparalleled. vids have 3 secs to capture attention (10 words) with zero way to fact check content (unlike community notes), and the algo boosts controversy.

Hearing many calling for a Tik Tok ban. This is a very slippery slope. I don't know how this can be in done in the USA without raising significant first amendment issues.

Nah if there are strict guidelines to shutdown platforms that stop immoral, subversive, and otherwise destructive elements to immerge that destroys a free, peaceful, productive, accessible, and sustainable commons, I am all for banning that platform. Freedom has to be protected in someway otherwise we have anarchy.
