I don't use tiktok because it's bad for me and makes my older phone heat up, but it's a great app that leads you to your very niche interests if you guide the algorithm to do so - that's even despite the 'heating button' that their employees use to make favoured (creators/corps) content go viral.

People truly get so nuts about stuff that just doesn't matter. People who don't even use tiktok are scared of it? Goodness gracious.

It's become acceptable and at times encouraged to react to things with the utmost drama and volume. I really hope this trend goes away.

I don't get it. Either China is getting all my data or the US is getting all my data. I don't see a substantive difference.

Since I'm not in the CCCP debate at all, I'd rather China have it.
