Yeah I mean they’re right, it is digital fentanyl and it should be severely regulated, but only as much as every Skinner box that Silicon Valley churns out.
Letting tech companies do whatever is in their power to weaponize billions of dollars in psychology research to lodge hooks in our brains is very, very bad. The focus specifically on TikTok is ridiculous “Chyna bad” nonsense, but yeah TikTok is fucked let’s be honest
I mean, they are saying “fentanyl” in a very pointed way because these are the same people peddling conspiracies about how fent addiction is Chyna waging an Opium War on the anglos.
But yes, all these platforms are sick skinner boxes that should have their “habit forming” tools regulated out of existence.
TikTok isn’t even Chinese really so look at this for what it is, Anti-China posturing to build sentiment for future conflict.
TikTok is is only 20% owned by the founder who is a private individual and not the Chinese government, and overwhelmingly 60% of the company is owned by western finance groups, ie: Carlyle Group, General Atlantic, and Susquehanna International Group, etc
3 of the 5 board of Directors for BiteDance are American.
TikTok isn’t even Chinese really
Its a product that competes with traditional American social media giants, so its (A) definitely from China and (B) definitely a powerful opioid and © directly responsible for… fuck, idk, Hamas? I think TikTok created Hamas.

Americans WITH CHINESE SURNAMES!!! We all know what that means.
Oracle Corporation, a CIA cutout, handles hosting Tiktok and moderation of what content north American users see… which means the Communist Party of China has literally taken control of the CIA!
if I can’t wave my phone with the tik tok app open at a cop to make them pass out then what good is digital fent
If tiktok is fentanyl then Facebook and Instagram were heroin first.
imagine living in a world where you legitimately think that someone can read a few lines of text and have their entire worldview subverted
IF ONLY IT WERE SO FUCKING EASY
