TikTok is uniquely awful, even for social media. It's awful in virtually every way, and there's nothing good that it provides that can't be handled by another existing site / app.
It is not uniquely awful. Nazis literally get endorse on Twitter and the racism goes thru the roof. You no why TikTok is the only thing targeted.
