For example, I don’t use TikTok. I never have, and I never will, and I’d advise everyone else to get off the platform too. I genuinely believe it’s objectively harmful to people’s mental health and possibly even a threat to democracy. That said, I also believe people should be free to decide for themselves whether they want to use it or not, which is why I’m against the U.S. government banning it.

    Perhaps you shouldnt have said ‘without trying it’, you dont need to try TikTok to know the downsides. But theres a difference between ‘I hate TikTok because others hate it’ and ‘Ive read some studies about social media addiction and reject TikTok’

    That said, Im not particularly against TikTok, but it definitely needs more regulation like any other legal drug.
