This is a good thing to talk about. Unfortunately, millions of its users will either turn blind eyes or be ignorant about this. It's a highly addictive and volatile platform.

I'm familiar with some individuals who use the platform as part of their business. They talked about how they would love to drop the platform as it's shit (both ethically and it's an absolute tragedy to work with as a social media platform), but it's insane popularity mean businesses sponsor them for content, and it would be a major cut to their income if they stopped. In essence: They're stuck working on a questionable platform, that isn't showing signs of dying, yet.

I don't remember if I said it in the post but my workplace does not allow it on premises stating privacy concerns. There's actually a clause for it in the employee handbook: "Absolutely no devices (e.g., cellular phones, tablets, computers, etc.) with TikTok on them are allowed in gathering areas such as break room, administration offices and especially not in the board room or supervisor office due to concerns of in the areas of both data and privacy. This includes proprietary information on technologies and equipment we employ."
