I have no tolerance for TikTok. I strongly advocate the ban on TikTok. Following are the reasons:-
The purpose of TikTok is to make a short video that can entertain people. But entertainment has no rigid definition and as per the current scenario, only Abuses, Harassment, Vulgarity are considered Entertainment.
14–15 YO Nibba/Nibbis are the most infected viewers of TikTok. At the age of determining a goal for their futures, they are busy putting forward “Couple-Goals”. “We will be together forever”. (PS- forever = 11 days)
There are several cases reported in the police, where people were found posting videos /photos from their previous relationships, yes the ‘FOREVER TOGETHER’ ones, without the consent of the other partner. This has destroyed a lot of personal lives, especially in the case of girls.
Stunts - To get a few likes/comments or whatever mode of appreciation is there on that app, kids/youth are found attempting stunts on bridges, rail tracks, rail doors, electricity, rivers, and whatnot. The result - Instant Death or Permanent Disability.
Pranks - Do anything vulgar/immoral and when caught by the people, tell them “Arey, ye to prank hai !!! Wo Raha camera” (Translation: Oh, it’s a prank. There is the camera.) This includes pranks wherein these prankster kisses and runs random girls under some type of Challenge and the worst part is that the viewers appreciate this nonsense.
My favorite, PMGCY - Pradhan Mantri Gender Conversion Yojana. TikTok is full of stupid boys who are dying to dress up like girls, wear their respective makeup, and record non-sense videos. Yes, this is also considered entertainment by our youth. If they are willing, we can create a new fund, INDIA-CARES, in which everyone will contribute to their Gender Conversion Medical Process.
What is the future of these above mentioned Nibbas, their Nibbis, Couples, PMGCY Beneficiaries, etc? A few of them definitely get monetary benefits but rest everyone is wasting their youth, effort, time, energy, and nerve cells on TikTok. The result - ZERO
*Show your talent, everyone will appreciate. But non-sense cannot be tolerated under the banner of Entertainment*
