vertical videos are cancer

I generally agree with you, but I have to laugh at the fact that this is the first point you make about the danger of TikTok.

their algorithm is engineered specifically to addict people, especially kids

I've always wondered if 100 years from now people will look at kids using social media in a similar way to how we look at kids using tobacco products today.

I have to admit, it's a bit bizarre seeing so many comments holding up TikTok as if it's a free speech bastion away from western-run social media companies.

Banning one platform would not magically get rid of short attention span and brainrot you fools.

Ah yes, the old "Taking this action won't solve all of the problems therefore we should do nothing" argument.
