If Tiktok was so dangerous for consumers like capitalists claim, wouldn’t the free market adjust to this fact and TikTok naturally phase out?

That’s the theory behind the free market that ridiculous capitalists push. So what gives? Getting cold feet? Starting to realize your ideology is absurd?

So the argument of this post is that tiktok should be forced to sell?

No. The argument is that free market dynamics are a capitalist dogwhistle and we should nationalize and reign in all infrastructure that affects massive swathes of the populace, not just the ones capitalists don't like.
