Wrong all social media are designed to be like that, not only Tiktok.

It’s all social media apps, not just TikTok. They are Businesses and are designed to make revenue.

Hmmm, why only TikTok? Perhaps because it's the only one that the US government can't control or use to spread their own narrative?

The internet was used for many things before disgusting social media.

Fourteen states are suing, not the Federal Government. As for why Tik Tok, one has to start somewhere.

I have really no idea what the addictive factor should be in all that crap. If there would have been such in my childhood, I would probably have put aside the whole smartphone at once and never had used or played with it again. But go ahead, don't listen to old white men like me. Let's bring it all behind us quickly now.
