'Even if TikTok were not directly tied to the CCP, it'd continue to be an object of concern. The social media app is horribly toxic and has contributed to addiction, increased rates of depression, and even sociogenic illnesses,' KayleeDMcGhee writes.
It should come as no surprise that TikTok’s effects are so perverse, considering its content. Users are regularly exposed to sexual, racist, and violent videos on the app, as a new report from Asia Grace revealed this week.In the report, Grace said she created a TikTok account recently, posing as a 14-year-old boy in order to discover what she would be exposed to as a male teenager in America who used the app passively. The results were troubling.
Grace also encountered videos in which young men mocked Asian accents and joked about killing orphans and hanging black people, according to the report. This is the kind of content America’s children are being inundated with every single day on TikTok. More than 67% of teenagers ages 13 to 17 use TikTok regularly, according to the Pew Research Center, with 16% saying they use it constantly.
