Snapchat, TikTok, Clubhouse, Facebook, YouTube, and Discord - are seen on an iPhone. BeReal is a French social media app rising in popularity, and can be anti-social in some ways. Users receive a notification at a random time once a day saying 'Time to BeReal'. This opens up a two-minute window for the user to post a picture of what they are currently doing. The purpose of this is to capture an authentic, unfiltered snapshot of a user's life.
Packaged with another bill that includes aid for Israel and Ukraine, the measure will go to the Senate next and then to President Biden, who has already voiced support for the bill.If the bill passes, Joe Biden has the option to extend the time Bytedance—the company that owns TikTok—has to sell the app by 90 additional days.For the average TikTok user, this is a dramatic turn of events.
On the other hand, I have concerns about the security risks. The axiom “what we don’t know can't hurt us” doesn’t apply here. Frankly, there is a distinct possibility that TikTok could misuse our data and influence us during the election—we just don’t know enough about how the data is stored and used within the app, or how it is stored or sold outside of the US.
Essentially, this is one case where I can see both sides of the issue quite easily. TikTok is both harmless at first glancepotentially dangerous. It’s harmless because—I’ve seen the videos. They are fun to watch and easy to forget. Potentially dangerous, because we’re so easily sucked into the videos and there’s no telling whether we’re being tricked into accepting a certain viewpoint.
My solution? As usual, it’s moderating my own usage. I often delete the app until I need to use it again for research or because, say, it’s the NBA playoffs. In the end, the future of the app is in the hands of the Senate and President Biden, whether we like that or not.
