I understand that not all of TikTok is toxic, but I’m just saying...

Ohno, tiktok is toxic. It is just that most people will have seen NONE of the examples you gave - but plenty of other toxic things.
The algorithm after all tries to show you things that interest you.

I’m talking about the amount of toxicity TikTok has. My FYP is also personalized, but that doesn’t mean toxicity on this app is alien to me.

It is mostly toxic. And the examples I gave were what I’ve seen. I understand you’ve seen different examples.

Not all asinine things deserve a ban. I don't care for anchovies. Doesn't mean I want it banned.

I hate CCP the most, but I think Tik tok shouldn't be banned because I think people have freedom.

Good grief. First you want the feds to investigate every single person traveling to Switzerland. Now you want to ban TikTok because of China. What the CCP could do with millions of videos of teenagers dancing to Top 40 songs is beyond me.

You realise that TikTok stopped being primarily about that quite a while ago ? That TikTok caused Trump rallies to be half empty should have been a hint.

Since you use the Indian flag, are you actually from India? I'd like to ask some questions about the effects and changes you saw in that country immediately after the government banned the platform, if so.

I mean tbh it didn't really affect things much here. Many people were opposed and many for the decision, but by the end of the week most of the former "creators" had moved on to other platforms.
+ I didn't watch tiktok earlier so that's the best I know
