“Should we make a TikTok about being in The New York Times?”

I hope if these students do, @TaylorLorenz will make sure we know about it. https://t.co/kydtL0tBGS
I visited a high school in FL that has been overrun by TikTok and wrote about how TikTok clubs are sweeping high schools across the nation!https://t.co/1Hy2Tpq0Jb

'“TikTok is a safer space where you can post videos about you being yourself, rather than worrying about being perfect...” in contrast with YouTube and Instagram, where more polished presentations are the norm.'

“We’re thinking this is possibly the new Schoolouse Rock,” one teacher said. At another school, students made TikToks of Newton’s Laws for extra credit. https://t.co/I34TpCHVHs by @TaylorLorenz

Good article about tiktok's exploding popularity among high schoolers. When they get older and start turning to expressing themselves politically, they'll be expressing themselves on a platform run by a company beholden to the CCP. https://t.co/5jhTmkTRgg

"Outside the room where the TikTok club meets, paper speech bubbles hang with messages: 'Google yourself'; 'If it’s on the internet, it’s not private'; 'They loved your G.P.A.; then they saw your tweets.'" https://t.co/Qz4w9eaxPD

TikTok is a privacy nightmare in the making. In the context of schools, the risks are unacceptable. https://t.co/ja3yyqJMrm

High schools are allocating free periods to TikTok, incorporating TikTok memes into school-sponsored events like homecoming and spirit day, HS teachers are using the app in their classrooms, one HS has school-wide “TikTok Tuesday” competitions, and morehttps://t.co/1Hy2Tpq0Jb

TikTok, a social media app where users post short funny videos, is getting increasingly popular among American students: “On other media you’re hiding your flaws. Here you’re showing them off”. Is TikTok Generation Z’s “natural” response to Instagram?https://t.co/SPkLm7Ottx
— Berta Herrero (@Be_Herrero) October 20, 2019
This is not a feel-good story. It’s horrendous. If you think it’s tough to get American social media companies to stop playing it fast and loose with out data, platforming racists and allowing harassers free reign, just try dealing with a social media company from China. https://t.co/JCL9bjPNwh
