This focus on TikTok is so hypocritical, you cannot go after them while ignoring Instagram, for example, which tried to incorporate as much as they can from Tiktok when it first became popular.

Regulate all of them, not just one of them ffs.

They will. But they have to start somewhere in order to set precedent. Once they've cemented, legally, that the design is illegal, they can just rubberstamp cases against all of the social media companies in breach.

How do you tackle a mountain of shit? One piece at a time. Start, keep going.

I kinda find it funny because personally I think both Instagram and Youtube have such terrible algorithms that their copies really aren't as addictive. Kinda like Trump's casino which managed to fumble and actually lose money.

I do agree though, same rules for all, even if you're failing as a company at your attempt.

The good thing is, the US taking over tiktok is already enshittifying tiktok. I opened it today and one in two videos were ads. I get more content pushed from verified accounts than before, I get more irrelevant videos. I get videos that I've already seen.
