In other news, close to 100% of American adults are over the age of the target user group for TikTok.

Obviously, favoring a ban is a more political stance than just not using it yourself, but it's still easy to call for bans, if you wouldn't be affected.

I'm 43 and regularly use TikTok. I've learned about soap making, trans rights, d&d, and a million other things. It's a great platform.

If you're on TikTok and just seeing teenage girls dancing, it's because you want to see that. Their algorithm is no joke.
