TikTok isn’t free speech. It’s just a scrapyard of trashy contents. People use TikTok seem to like swimming in the pile of garbage.

Honestly, I was one of those people. Eventually, I realized I wasn't happy because the algorithm found that I responded to a specific narrative and would not stop showing it to me no matter how hard I tried to remove it from my feed. I don't like the person I become when I think that way, and the algorithm does not care. I had to just uninstall TikTok to be free of that toxic mindset.

Btw the mindset is incel-flavored misogyny. TikTok nearly re-radicalized me in the worst possible way.
