I feel the hate for tiktok is fueled by the ones who would like a competitor go away. A competitor of twitter, fb etc. Because it cannot be controlled in the same way.
Not saying it isn't full of crap ofc. but down the rest with it.

If we hypothize that we're already in a sort of cyberwar where different nations apply these platforms to influence the people of other nations to their selfish gains, TikTok can be thought of being the enemy whereas Youtube/FB/even Twitter are sort of friendly.
Or well, that's how it should be, but in the real world all of these platforms are used by the enemy to influence us. With TikTok they just hold all the levers.
Up til tuesday I'd thought the same, but now I guess they are all problematic for democracy.
