I am several generations removed from TikTok's core audience but regard it as my guilty pleasure. It's like junk food, it makes you feel happy when consuming it but guilty later for having done so.

There is nothing in the article, beside what's in the headline. Not even anything about what the deal might be. Truly serious journalism. 5 Ws, anyone?

we may be better off if tiktok shuts down in the US

finding really good posters that you like is like finding a needle in a haystack
