Douyin and Tiktok

TikTok is Chinese.

But China’s TikTok (Douyin) is apparently quite different.

Same company. Same product. Different features.

Douyin apparently has mandatory Youth Mode (max 40min/day).
TikTok is banned in Australia for being brainrot.

Douyin apparently emphasizes educational content.
TikTokNot emphasizes empty calorie trends/challenges.

If we’re going to view media that countries ban for brainrot, and their homeland won’t use…

…We should probably tread carefully.
