Tiktok is the number one source of misinformation and pseudoscience, and where most of Gen Z gets their information. And thats not even mentioning the damage it does to attention spans. So yes, It is a problem.

Strawman. It doesn't matter who made the app.

Guarantee you’d have no beef with it, nor would it be so demonized, if China hadn’t made it.

False. The fact that China made it was not a factor.

I’m pretty sure you don’t, because Gen Z doesn’t go to TikTok for political analysis 😂

Oh you’re one of those who gobbles up everything a newspaper tells you because famous people told you to 😂 instead of seeing what Gen Z is actually doing. I guarantee The NY Times has no clue about that. If you knew the kinds of people who work there then you’d know they’re amazingly out of touch.

Hey, I’m a teacher, kids ask me all the time “is this true? I saw it on TikTok” The ones that don’t ask are the ones that spend even more time on it. It’s seriously a problem. And I don’t care where it came from. Insta was the problem before that, vine before that. Snapchat ain’t great either.
