Making a whole generation unfit for qualified work is a serious threat for every nation.

Many of the Tiktok generation live in a world where reading for 3 minutes is a heavy effort they are unwilling to do. All information is supposed to be presented in short entertaining video clips.

In China online time for the youth has been strictly regulated years ago. But harming other nations is only in their interest.

How is that fundamentally different from Reels and Shorts and whatever Facebook has cooking?

Meta is not fundamentally better than Bytedance. Their business model is addiction combined with accumulating and misusing user data.

Facebook only started cooking those after they saw what tiktok posts were doing and how popular they were.
