Sadly there is a completely lack of appreciation of TikTok here on HN.

TikTok is really the next generation of social media. The way the algorithm adapts to the user is unlike anything out there plus the integrated videographic tools are incredible. Plus it is cheerful and playful, and not full of conflict or self promotion.

However the only thing we can focus on is that it is Chinese.

Agreed. It's hard for me not to suspect that there's some strong motivation by interested parties to make TikTok a boogeyman. I'm much more concerned about unintentional harm caused by incompetence (Facebook) or deliberate messaging for a purpose (Fox News, or pick whoever your personal least favorite media source is).
