I’D SAY CHYNA IS BEATING THE WEST ON THE DOPAMINE TRAP 🪤 PROBLEM BUT THEY ALSO HAVE A CAJILLION PEOPLE THAT JUST SUBLIMATE THE NEED FOR STIMULATION WITH ANIMAL ABUSE SO WE’RE PROBABLY STILL EVEN
Tik Tok is so obviously a modern day version of opium, or perhaps fire water; a tool used by a sophisticated empire to manipulate the internal affairs of simpler nations. We use it at our own peril.
There really ought to be a broader discourse about not just "should we ban Tiktok" but also "should we regulate it into this sort of channel" - and of course, the moment that happens, nobody's going to want this propaganda engine to be under the control of its current masters. One can only hope they don't just want to turn it over to a new set of propaganda masters, but that's probably asking too much.

It’s amazing what a government can do when it doesn’t hate you.
