    TikTok in the US was spun out into a separate company. The global version of TikTok hasn’t changed, so the issues that the EU has with tiktok are still with china/btyedance.

    That being said, let’s get rid of social media everywhere!

      I’d be curious to hear their explanation as to why the Tiktok “addictive” system of switching from one video to the other is more addictive that YT shorts who does the same(, or Instagram reels, switching videos on 𝕏, Vine back then, …).
      For now, their arguments are : infinite scroll and push notifications(, present on every social media), autoplay, recommandations, …
      Tiktok is being accused of using the same system as other social platforms, sure we believe that our arguments are more coherent, or everyone knows that they’re just lazy excuses, and nobody cares.
      Yeah, it’s probably that we gave up on democracy, and nobody with power cares about Tiktok.
