TikTok is the most harmful social media platform in this current time. I've not only written about the violence on TikTok, I've written about the propaganda and misinformation. TikTok is a harmful platform, it's not removing posts that are violent, misinformation or propaganda.

I don't know how it happened, the video on the upper right of this above photo has over 570,000 views, she's talking about hitting her Uber driver in the face with a hot honeybun. Once you go to the comment section, people tagged several videos of this hot honeybun trend. 

It gets so sick that some of the videos are covered with warnings because they show graphic violence. Oddly I posted a video of a man jumping towards another man, it was deemed violence. But people driving down the street and throwing hot food onto the homeless in America is acceptable for TikTok.

There are so many videos, I refused to watch them, the first I saw had a warning on it. People inside of a moving car, were looking for homeless people. 

Then comes this horrible trend of the damn hot honey buns being thrown on the homeless.

There were several videos where people used a microwave to heat the honey buns, then tried to show watchers how hot they become. There were several of those the rest were people threatening to throw the honey buns on people, others they just threw them on others.

In one video which is the one above in the center, it showed someone's face burned by a honey bun TikTok didn't see any reason in removing the video, they just placed a warning over it, so that you have to click to see the video.

The community guidelines for TikTok are not equally fair and they allow violence and misinformation to be spread on their platform. Bullying is common and so is hate speech, from racist comments, to insulting names filled with curse words. From every race of people, yet some people have content removed for the slightest reasons.

TikTok will remain a harmful social media platform, as harmful as Twitter X or whatever you call it these days.

These videos earn millions of views, one gained over 29 million views this is the most disgusting trend yet and for some reason millions of people can't get enough of it. This surely shows you the inhumanity of people, this is mainly an American based trend, as these are the people who actually call the food item a honey bun.

People are clearly not only doing this for likes, comments, shares and views, they're doing this because they're cruel and disgusting. These trends should clearly result in the arrests of several hundred people. I'm guessing China doesn't care about violence towards American homesless because they're doing nothing to remove these videos.
