Parents used to warn their kids that literature would rot their brains. Then it was the radio, TV, and video games. Now it's TikTok.

Socrates bemoaned those young'ns who had the audacity to read their Homer, instead of memorizing it.

Tiktok is digitial media, the attention span is the issue, not the media format.

I know a few people who admitted to me without me even probing them that they cannot handle watching or listening to a video over 1 minute long.

I am not for censoring Tiktok, however I will never used it since its horrible on privacy and has "back doors" to a powerful and malicious government. And I like videos that are long with good discussion or information.

No, tiktok is not digital media. It's a chinese cyber warfare weapon of mass destruction.

I think your right about that. It can be used to divide and subvert the west, but American big tech platforms do the same domestically and abroad.
