It's full of 40-year-olds trying to justify how their phobia of TikTok is somehow different from their parents' phobia of video games or rock-and-roll.

Fair enough, perhaps I should have said 'adults'. Every generation of adults, since time immemorial, has complained that 'kids these days' are intellectually or spiritually degenerate compared with their own generation. It wasn't true then. It isn't true now. TikTok is not 'rewiring children's brains', or whatever it is that adults are panicking about, any more than Grand Theft Auto or Eminem did. Buck the trend.
