    I remember at school we weren’t allowed to use Wikipedia, and further “it hurt your ability to actually research issues”.

    Or the internet in general not having to find answers in books.

    The next thing is always the boogyman huh

      I remember being told “anyone can edit wikipedia” as the reason it wasn’t allowed. It wasnt a verifiable source. But at least for the most part, they try to remain factual.

      Tiktok is pushing a specific agenda with their algorithm and trying to drive engagement and addiction. They don’t care if what gets put on their platform is true at all.
