There are a lot of things to worry about on TikTok and this is what concerns the NYTimes?

Who in the world crowned ANY SOCIAL MEDIA PLATFORM or any of its content producers, as censors and arbiters of “the truth”?

TikTok needs a new dildo challenge that challenges RATs to go to the polls on election day to vote and not return any banana republic by mail ballots.
