Threat to national security? Who could know besides the higher ups.
Threat to society? Again I don't know but god, most of TikTok is extremely cringe and has people wasting so, so much of their time either viewing stupid videos or filming them.
Idk, I just think turning society into a popularity contest/mediocre talent show is.. weird. Collectively, how many billions of hours have been wasted by people staging, viewing and filming simplistic dances due to apps like this?
When we could be doing.. anything of significance.
Sure, there's some informational stuff on there no need to remind me but let's be honest how much of it is basically "Look what I can do!"
