Reply to comment by EtadanikM in TikTok Spied On Forbes Journalists - ByteDance confirmed it used TikTok to monitor journalists’ physical location using their IP addresses by BasedSweet
But let's be realistic here... it's not fine. And TikTok is being used as a scapegoat to pull media attention away from every other social media that does the exact same thing.
Rather than fix the underlying problem across the board, US politics are only focusing on the one they can't manipulate themselves.

That's exactly what TikTok does. The problem is there's no such thing as being perfectly fed what you want without it impacting your mental health in a negative way. It can quickly lead to confirmation biases and prevent you from growing as a person when all you're receiving is information you want. It's also extremely addictive.
