    I think TikTok is potentially dangerous with a security breach which could release allot of private information out to the public since you can connect your other social media those could also get breach but I think the chance of this is low and not likely to happen. And also it’s pretty addictive personally What do you think?

    Besides the whole security breach, I think TikTok is one of the dumbest app

    It definitely is the most pointless app because it’s nothing productive you’re doing

    I mean almost all apps basically do this, only difference is which country has your data. As for TikTok itself, most people like it and find it addictive because of it's algorithm, similar to other apps, because it will show you stuff that is tailored for you and that you want to see, but me personally I don't see the use for it. If you really want to be private, you should do everything on a computer through VPN, or just don't use social media, it's not as essential as we may think.

    Yeah I don't see how TokTok is any different than any of the others (except for the PRC/CCP having direct access to your data, of course). As far as user experience it seems no smarter/dumber than facebook, instagram, twitter, etc.
    Also TikTok seems to be doing a better job (for now) of banning nazis and racists than twitter & facebook have done, so I give them points for that

    The breach in security is not worth it. Plus the content isn't great.

    TikTok is really addicting. Teenagers mostly sit and post on the app, or sit and watch it for hours when time could be spent doing something better

    I never got into TikTok. I see a lot of people are starting trends there, dangerous ones and the rest of the world is following. That makes no sense.

    I'm pretty sure your information is out there already as long as your first and last name is out there on any social media its not hard to look someone up for instance phone number, address and email address. I'm pretty sure each app that we all download has some information about us its just not out there for everyone to see yet.
