I am completely unconvinced TikTok is somehow more harmful to anyone than Instagram Reels. 6 4 31
I'm fine with banning them both or neither but not only one of them. 2 17
Ban both, and YouTube Shorts, too. 1 4
I think it's mostly a reciprocal thing though. If China opened up to Reels we'd probably be fine with Tik Tok 1
that's not really how it's framed but it's not a completely unreasonable argument 4
What we really need to understand is the real problem is algorithmic engagement. Regulate that and you solve the real problem. 1 3
Well reels are for millennials so 3
The data the Chinese government is supposedly hoarding is about consumer preferences and user habits. In other words, get in line with the dozens of private companies doing the same. 2
Both are exceedingly harmful in terms of hours wasted I'll tell you that
My impression is there's WAY more political disinformation on TikTok.
