Comment on More than a dozen states in the US have sued TikTok, accusing the social media platform of helping to drive a mental health crisis among teenagers
I remember this being a thing before tik tok
This ‘blackout challenge’ on Tiktok was a thing before Tiktok?
Yes, this exact thing was at my middle school in the early 2000s, tiktok being a vector for things kids already do and have done for at least twenty years does not make it special.
Way before TikTok yeah. I remember almost the exact same headlines like 15 years ago in middle school.
Then it’s time to ban this.
Ban kids making up dumbshit challenges and attempting them?
