Why You Should Care About TikTok

Why You Should Care About TikTok
Video NYT Opinion
The New York Times 14 September 2020
Maybe you first learned about TikTok
when your
kids tried to teach you the Toosie Slide,
or when you came across
a kinetic Charli D’Amelio
video that got millions of likes.
Or was it when your nephew started a small fire
because of the “outlet challenge?”
In any case,
you’ve definitely heard
that
President Trump was intent on banning it
and forced it to make a deal with an American
company.
But who really cares about an app — used mostly
by Gen Z?
You, for one, should.
In the video Op-Ed above,
a group of highly influential TikTokers from
around the country,
with followers in the millions, demonstrate
that the platform is more than cringy
video for and by teenagers.
It’s the most downloaded app
and nearly 100 million Americans use it for a
range of things
— like political organizing and learning about
beekeeping —
and even boomers and educators are on the app.
It’s also just fun.
Like any social media platform, we should keep an eye on it.
But that doesn’t mean this one app should be
targeted
— if anything,
we should be paying closer
attention to other companies, like Facebook.
Even if you still don’t care about what’s happening with TikTok,
you should be worried about what could be next.
