Not much, however they through the server software algorithms get to decide what you see if you use it much. That's the danger of the app. I personally don't use it at all because of the format. I'm not into watching homemade movies and that's a good part of what's there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kennedy have spoken out against a Tik Tok ban. There are videos of their fuller commentary available; but for here are the following excerpts: “TikTok is banned in China,” Paul said. “We’re thinking – or people who want to ban it are thinking – Wow, we’re going to really defeat the Chinese communists, by becoming Chinese authoritarians and banning it in our country? TikTok is banned in China. So, we’re going to emulate the Chinese communists by banning it in our country?” “It makes no sense whatsoever,” - Rand Paul And From Robert Kennedy Jr. this excerpt of a good short video "I want you to remember that every right the government has ever taken away from citizens was removed under the pretense of national security. My father's favorite philosopher, Albert Camus, wrote, "The welfare of the people is always the alibi of tyrants." And it provides further advantage of giving the servants of tyranny a clear conscience. Remember that when Congress gives Joe Biden the power to remove an app from your cell phone. Ironically, Joe Biden himself just joined TikTok. People love TikTok, it's the digital public square. If there are security concerns in the tech backend, let's address them there, but let us never reduce Americans' ability to freely exchange ideas. TikTok has become an avenue for young Americans to grow businesses, express themselves, and to join the political discourse." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But is that reason or justification to ban the work of other individuals? seems to me it is not, and instead it is vital to a strong free and open society to allow even the most boring of "home movies" to be produced and offered for view. Let critics be critics, but not be censors. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
