It's not even just an app full of kids or even dancing. If it ever was that was well before my time. I'm sure it still exists but it never makes it to me. It's full of young adults and millennials these days. Other than the outrage over the genocide by Isreal another current big drama going around is about NC rep Jeff Jackson because he got a huge following on TikTok and then voted to ban it. There's also a big thing about boycotting kellogs and we've been pretty active in discussing businesses that are stifling unions. Hell, half the front page of reddit is just badly cropped TikTok videos these days anyway lol

Well, ok. I lied. Sometimes I do get dancing videos: https://www.tiktok.com/t/ZTLFVoyUw/

Oppress the youth? TikTok is literally Chinese spyware and propaganda. Not to mention how the proliferation of short form videos is actively fucking up our society with hot takes and stupid "challenges".

Hope they go after Instagram next. All the brain rot apps.

We could pass a law regulating the entire industry. This is going to get knocked down in the courts.
