I've been - I'm not sure what the right verb is here - watching? TikTok for a while now (it's good easy viewing on the spin cycle during commercials on the morning news). Participants upload short videos either with live sound or with soundtracks. There's a wide range of content. Some do lip-sync, some do dances. Whatever. There are some ads, but they're brief, and you can make them disappear. My own thinking is that teens like TikTok because it isn't full of influencers and self-promoters. Or that might just be why I like it. And no, I'm not worried about it being owned by a Chinese company. I can't imagine Facebook or Twitter being any less helpful to their own governments than TikTok would be to its own government.
