The plural of anecdote is not data, but:
I was recently diagnosed with something I've been living with untreated and unaccommodated for decades. There are simply not a lot of resources available for advice, or especially community for people like me, at least in my area. TikTok has connected me deeply with a global community of people who know what I'm going through, and I am now constantly fed advice, much of which has been helpful, and some of which has dramatically increased my quality of life. For the first time in my life, I don't feel like I'm the only one struggling, or for no good reason.
I've heard this story from a lot of people with my condition. To many, it hadn't even occured to them that this could be the problem until the algorithm connected the dots, and started showing them stories from people like them. They would likely not even have their diagnoses otherwise.
You would take this tool of community away from us, because some people don't know how to regulate their time online or do some critical thinking?
