Whilst I agree that Tiktok is a threat, I feel extremely uneasy about the idea of banning it while other social media platforms continue causing harm, largely unregulated. Consistent legislation is needed, not special-casing one company because it's politically easier to do.

Does anybody else ever think how messed up it is that unless you go out of your way (or live in a very rural area), you are bombarded with ads for the entire time you are awake.
