Unlike? I think you mean they're JEALOUS of TikTok's appeal to minors...

What I mean is that Facebook for example is aimed at and consumed by older adults in the first place. Most young people in fact see it as a boomer platform.

When I was a kid and Facebook was new, I remember everyone wanting an account. The way I see it, Facebook just kept those users who wanted it when it was new. Who's to say that the same won't be true of TikTok later?

Who’s to say that the same won’t be true of TikTok

Who knows but we are talking about the negative effects TikTok has on society right now.
