Was it? The US version of Tiktok is going to be run by One Rich A-hole Called L. E. pretty soon. It seems like maybe this research is just being published a little to late? Or maybe it's to manufacture consent for actually using the Oracle version.

Yeah, all algorithmic social media does this to one extent or another. Suddenly it's okay if they're owned by Musk instead of the Chinese?

Yep the Facebook/Twitter lobbyists must be at the "Think of the children!" stage of the playbook now, instead of actually competing for once.

Guess those dumb TikTok-wannabe Shorts/Stories didn't work out.

Up next: Terrorist attacks coordinated via TikTok?

Or maybe a school shooting, leading to a ban on TikTok instead of guns.

Oh Murica..
