If you think this isn’t exactly how advertising has worked for the past 75 years you’re not paying attention.

This is my general argument for the whole "ban tiktok" argument.

To think that it's just Tiktok doing this is ignorant.

We literally saw Facebook's affect on politics via Cambridge Analytica, and that was 100% data driven science. They literally manipulated the flow of information to particular types of people and fucked with their brains enough to sway their whole thought processes.

To think there is no one else in the world doing this is ridiculous.
