Personally I think Twitter is a great example of why tik tok should be banned.

It’s a clear example of how leadership can skew the algorithm to try to influence things.

Now, in twitters case they are wildly obvious about it and everyone is starting to think they’re a joke.

Tik tok isn’t run by a buffoon so anything they do would be far more subtle

Twitter is also showing why these type of companies need far more regulation applied. But that doesn’t mean it’s bad to take other actions in the meantime.
