2020 is when it all started. Recently, the government and politicians have been trying to shut down the social media app called TikTok. TikTok is an app where you can upload photos, videos, and even post stories. The app is owned by the Chinese company ByteDance. Government and politicians have been trying to force sales of the app because they say it is a risk to national security and data privacy concerns. Although there has been no proof that they were a threat, many people can conclude bad things about TikTok. There are so many great things about TikTok such as it is a community, the way it provides a support system, and how people can be themselves.
TikTok has many communities within it to make sure everyone feels at home and has a place where they belong. Some of these communities include BookTok, PlantTok, CleanTok, FoodTok, GymTok, and FashionTok. In these community’s people share videos, photos, and reels that connect and make them a community.
There are many ways TikTok acts as a support system. One of the ways is some TikTokers such as @MamaTot, @haleyybaylee, and @dadadvicefrombo post TikTok’s that range from how to shave, life advice, how to build things, and even if you just need someone to talk to. Another way is that if a TikTok creator needs help or support, their followers can help them, leave motivational comments, or even if they need money for bills.
On TikTok people can be their authentic selves. One way they can be their authentic selves is showcasing their personality. When someone showcases their true personality, they can share your honest opinion and use their unique sense of humor. Another way people can be their authentic self is embracing their imperfections. Embracing imperfections can lead to having many benefits such as improving mental health, reducing stress and anxiety, and increasing happiness.
In conclusion, some bad things have been said about TikTok, but it has so many great things such as it is a community, the way it provides a support system, and how people can be themselves.
