Deep thanks for this note, Zak.
I am going to send it to my three kids (22, 20, 17) and ask once again that they be reflective about their social media usage.
Best,
G

Hi Lene,
This is only one of many disturbing trends on TikTok (which is ultimately owned, operated and disseminated by the CCP). The platform itself works as a content delivery system that algorithmically sequences videos of a minute or less, making
it arguably the most well designed addictive/attention capture/brainwashing app available. Usage statistics among adolescents are disturbingly high, especially when a 3 hour session consists of something like 180 distinct videos. Attention fragmentation and
related susceptibility for suggestion are off the charts. The data analytic back end is shady enough that the US military banned it from all phones of service members. TikTok is maybe the simplest case of a social media technology that should simply be shut
down.

Hello TOK'ers,
I just ran into this article about trauma being the new trend on TikTok: https://unherd.com/thepost/tiktoks-latest-fad-confessions-of-trauma/
Is this well known?
