TikTok is the social media de jour of the moment, but the problem is social media in general. TikTok does nothing worse than IG or FB did, its just the most popular. We have to teach the next generation of kids about pride in one's self and to not need the approval of random strangers on the internet. Its a complicated problem that doesn't have one solution, and banning TikTok will only kick the can down the road to the next social media platform.

This is true, but there's only one network based in China and promoting suicide with a vested interest in seeing our country's demise. Social media sucks, but TikTok is the worst of it.

Research has found the same things happen on YouTube and Instagram... It's not a china thing. To say that is just some gullible belief that is just trying to justify hatred towards a country or culture. YouTube particularly is well known for its algorithm being harmful.
