Don't Chinese youth use TikTok?  Perhaps the aim of the CCP is to turn
*all* proles into inattentive idiots thus making them more amenable to
population control.

How do e.g. Facebook, Instagram, X(Twitter), etc. compare with this? 
Is population control the goal of Western governments too?

Once upon a time, religion was the opium of the masses, then it was TV;
apparently it's now the Internet.
