TikTok should be banned..

I understand it is entertaining. However, it is harmful because you one needs to keep scrolling and scrolling up to watch the next video which is causing you harm. You can develop an association in your brain which tells your brain that it is making you happy. The effect is that you forget about your surroundings, the people close to you and your progress is hindered as you fall into an addiction.

This random hate people have against TikTok is so weird. It may be useless to some but it's a source of entertainment for others and people can make a living off of it. Plus some smaller artists or lesser known people get alot of visibility through the app.
And yeah, almost everything can harm you in one way or another so....

I beg to differ, it should be banned as it designed to cause the user to scroll upwards (similar to Instagram) resulting in an dopamine association and therefore addictive behaviour
Oh yeah, that's true. I've noticed how a lot of social media has done that. I don't think it's a reason for banning though...that feature is highly addictive though. And YouTube does it now too and I'm like...

Hmm...how so?

The same could be said about AKP, Youtube, Instagram, etc.

Cause - Scrolling function on TikTok (and Instagram)
Effect - Addiction and Anti-social behaviour, petty behaviour, lack of self-care or self-awareness
Let's ban the whole internet then.

That's not the fault of the app, that's the fault of the person. Anything in life that someone over-indulges in can have that effect, whether it's apps, or video games, or food, or other adult things. Banning the app is a short term solution to a long term problem and will just cause someone to move on to the next addictive thing.
It's a personal responsibility for someone (as long as they are adults and can make their own decisions) to avoid those things.
