Liam Posted November 20 Share Posted November 20 Is tiktok bad for us? It made me wonder, because TikTok has blown up massively over the years and is still growing into this massive content driven thing Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
James Posted November 20 Share Posted November 20 I don't think TikTok is bad for us, per se. I think it can be addictive and consume a lot of our time if we're not careful Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's important to find a balance and not let any one thing consume our lives. That applies to all social media platforms. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
William Posted November 20 Share Posted November 20 I think it is bad for a few different reasons. One of the biggest is that it is working as a system to harvest and collect data, making millions - if not billions - off people Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
YellowDragon Posted November 20 Share Posted November 20 Yes and no. The fact that it functions as a data harvesting tool and uses completely different algorithm presets per nation should raise a lot of red flags. In China, you will see nothing but education, nature, family, and wholesome content being pushed to the top. In the US, you will see damaging trends, arrogance, and nonsense at the top. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So basically as it stands right now, it isn't good for most people. I mean I would guess they manipulate everything. Good or bad. It is in their best interest as well for the US as well as other countries to tank mentally and morally. Likely why India banned it. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I agree. I think all social media should be banned for anyone under 18 for the simple fact that children are being abused on ALL of these platforms. But TikTok in and of itself is a huge security risk for the nation and needs to go. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
