TikTok..... is it good or to be avoided ?

It's blooming terrible.

Some people love it, some people don't bother with it. Each to their own. If you're curious, have a look. It won't do you any harm.

If you're gullible and a bit thick it might.

That's why I don't bother with it.

I don't know if this is true, but it is plausible to me. Because China invented/own tiktok, they apparently only allow educational and/or wholesome content to be viewed by their citizens. In contrast, all the weird/nasty/dross stuff is pushed and suggested on the western world in order to dumb them down. Looking around sometimes, it seems to be working

Chinese state monitoring tool.

Not sure that makes it any worse than the US owned, far-right-backing, interfering-in-other-nations'-politics social media platforms like FB and eX-twitter.

I use YouTube but TikTok I wouldn't touch. I heard the story about Chinese spy stuff and thought it sounded credible.
I use no other social media platforms, other than Cyclechat.
I haven't got the time.
I keep getting urged by a friend to get Instagram, Im sick of hearing about how great it is tbh. He sends me links to it but because I'm not on it I can't watch it.

Is this face bovvered??
