    that just leaves room for the second biggest communication platform to become the biggest platform.

    and tbh the newest generation uses tiktok more to stay informed

      Which also has momentum to get it shut down. The fact that I agree with shutting it down makes me wonder if it’s actually the smart idea or if I’ve just bought the propaganda behind that drive.

      Another platform may eventually take over, but 2024 is the goal, nothing will be even close to the level Twitter and Reddit were at in 2020 by then. Maybe never again.

      Do the TikTok users of the newest generation vote? Might explain why these same people are seeking bans on it and trying to raise the voting age.

        Tiktok is already bigger than Snapchat, Twitter and reddit

        and yes. many politicians and meta see tiktok as a threat

          Really? I didn’t think it was anywhere near that big. But A. are those users even old enough to vote, B. Do they vote, C. what is the political atmosphere over there? I wouldn’t touch it with a 10 foot VPN.

            i don’t know what the age distribution is but you certainly have a large population of current and future voters.

            it’s certainly more left, but with every large platform it’s really a reflection of society at large.
