Hawaii residents' income threatened by loss of Tic-Tok

[MyManao]

The only Tic-Tok videos I've watched are when someone else on another site points to one that shows extreme idiocy. I think it's a site for idiots, but I don't understand why it should be banned.

Tic Tok is a drug designed to make its users stupid.. INTENTIONALLY!

Is TikTok different in China compared to the U.S.? A social media analyst compares it to opium and spinach

TikTok in China

Although they’re both owned by ByteDance, Douyin — China’s version of TikTok — offers a different version of the social media app that is unavailable to the rest of the world, especially for children. 

“It’s almost like they recognize that technology is influencing kids’ development, and they make their domestic version a spinach version of TikTok, while they ship the opium version to the rest of the world,” Tristan Harris, a former Google employee, and advocate for social media ethics, said of China’s approach to TikTok.

In my original post I said all algorithm driven social media should be banned. Seriously, why should we let advertisers, and social media conglomerates that sell control of their feeds to whoever pays the most, have a say, any say at all, in what we think?

And yes TomK, you are right, the folks on Tic Tok are morons. But hey, so are most Americans. Just look at the new crop of folks who have taken over PW. They're batshit crazy.
