Do you know for a fact that TikTok is not more beneficial to democracy than detrimental? Could it be possible that your opinion is based upon the various stories you have read on the matter, and could it be possible that those stories are misleading?
Ironically, TikTok is a good platform for learning about why people think the things they do, though it is also a very powerful tool for exacerbating the problem. Power of most any kind can be used for good or ill, and TikTok is certainly powerful. If I was in the controlling beliefs of the masses business, canceling TikTok is the first thing I would do also...and to make sure it gets done I would bundle it in with funding for Ukraine and Israel.
