Is TikTok the Real Problem? 📱💡| Mark Stross : Tech Visionary & Author

Is TikTok a concern? Sure. But is it uniquely problematic compared to other social media giants? Absolutely not. The truth is, platforms like this one are collecting just as much data—sometimes more. They’re using everything from your Bluetooth ID to location tracking to build detailed profiles of your habits.

Here’s the kicker: many of these companies claim it’s “anonymous,” but how anonymous can it be when they can easily connect the dots back to you?

So why is @TikTok being singled out? It’s a fair question, and one we need to keep asking. We should be focusing on all platforms and pushing for comprehensive digital safeguards that protect everyone, everywhere.

💡 Solutions?
• Educate yourself about how platforms use your data.
• Demand accountability and transparency from all social media companies.
• Support policies that promote data privacy for everyone, not just selective bans.

Let’s move beyond fear-driven narratives and work toward real, layered solutions for digital safety.

What do you think—should the focus shift to all platforms instead of just TikTok? Let me know in the comments!
