Honestly, I don't see any downsides to this. Tiktok and Instagram are horrible platforms that are actively hurting, and in some cases killing, young teens. Sure, they did it for propaganda reasons, but that doesn't mean it's not a net positive.

Eating tide pods? Stealing Kia cars? Other silly trends that are deadly too

Tide pod trend was long before TikTok, these types of trends have existed for decades now.
