> A community that does not control the narrative its members hear, will cease to be a community.

A community that controls the narrative its members hear, will very likely turn into a a society full of prejudices imposed dogmas.

I think you’re right. And - ick feeling - wonder if that’s where we are.

I think the society is still adapting to the new available media. People point at problems teenagers have with social network but it must be considered that they much more immune to problems that affect adults related to social networks: biases and beliefs in fake news. So, we'll suffer a bit but I think we'll be fine in the time-span of one generation; that is 20 years, I think.

That sounds worse than all the other social networks put together as TikTok needs more addictive content and users to continue the addiction and profit from bad habits and cravings mentioned in other comments. It is no different and is in fact worse.

A dystopia that the many have chosen to believe in who's goal is to only worsen the digital crack cocaine addiction which that is already just as bad and present in society.

We do not need society to regress any further with platforms like TikTok.
