TikTok is no worse than reddit or Facebook or video games or MSN Messenger or IRC or BBS or television or radio or books or whatever other shit the adults of the generation claimed was "poisoning the youth".

You aren't enlightened. You're just old.

This is the exact same moral panic we've been seeing for centuries, and pretending TikTok is truly the most serious it's ever been is extreme hypocrisy.

This. The tik tok algo, whether it's by design or just algo gone amok, is actively promoting content glorifiyng mental illness as something hip that people should get involved with. It's kinda like the emo trend of the 2000s but worse. No video game, thriller/horror movie or what have you will tell you it's hip to have and/or identify with mental illness..
