      Tik Tok is trash and bad for your brain.

      Some of my friends fell prey to it and they just endlessly scroll videos and stuff on it like zombies. But it's not the only one: Instagram is another offender of the same crimes.

Some aren't posting much on their profiles but always regularly do Stories.

Best of luck with that when even SME businesses still heavily rely on Meta. I never see any online companies use alternatives other than Meta, especially WhatsApp and Facebook Groups.

            "...creating transparency on why certain content was removed and how advertisers target users."

            God bless the EU. That is what people want to see.

If there’s precedence that other social media platform are already complying, fair game, TikTok should comply. But if the others are not being forced to comply, then the request should be invalid.

                Of course, unless you love being governed by government who likes to cherry pick enforcing things only to certain companies/people. Good luck to you.

There are millions of people studying and learning new things from YouTube tutorials and playlists. I myself have learned everything I know about programming just by watching tutorials on YT.
                        tiktok on the other hand needs to disappear completely as it's not bringing anything informative or educational. Actually, people died after following tiktok challenges like trying to eat a huge spoon of dry cinemon or salt.
                        I don't see YT as social media. I use it daily but I never post things or even chat with other people like social media works.
                        Peace!
