A nice place to discuss rumors, happenings, innovations, and challenges in the technology sphere. We also welcome discussions on the intersections of technology and society. If it’s technological news or discussion of technology, it probably belongs here.

Remember the overriding ethos on Beehaw: Be(e) Nice. Each user you encounter here is a person, and should be treated with kindness (even if they’re wrong, or use a Linux distro you don’t like). Personal attacks will not be tolerated.

If you get your medical information from TikTok you really have far bigger problems.

Bigger problems like the republicans and other far-right parties attacking reproductive rights? Yeah, you're right.

That is not the topic at discussion.

Yes it is. Why do you think thah TikTok removes that content in the first place? It 's because they are afraid to give paranoid, xenophobic, republicans any "reason" to ban them.

I actuallyethink that you are trying to derail the discussion into "you showld never trust tiktok".

TikTok is a cancer that always does this. It is a tool for censorship, propaganda and population control. You should never use TikTok. It is extremely unethical to do so.

Its more of an accessibility concern, people shouldn't be getting medical info fully from TikTok but it's a good way to disseminate basic info

You should get no information from TikTok. That is all there is to say about it. This is even much more true for medical information.
