OPINION: Government needs to act against dangerous TikTok app
and their brains. TikTok has now been linked to mental illness, anxiety, depression, attention disorders, and even physical tics, especially in teen girls. The app’s recommendation algorithms are very aggressive, continuously filling a user’s feed with content.
TikTok has also been shown to promote dangerous eating disorder content for girls, contributing to a wave of eating-disorder cases spreading across the country.
The threats are increasingly apparent to all. Five states have already banned TikTok from use on government phones and the U.S. Senate unanimously passed a similar prohibition for federal devices last Wednesday. TikTok’s time is up. This is not a partisan issue. Biden and the Democrats should follow Krishnamoorthi’s example and get on board with his, Gallagher’s and Rubio’s bipartisan approach to ban TikTok from operating in the United States.
