Every time there's a post like this on HN ("social media app harms children") responses like this seem to be a primary response. It always feels like handwavey avoidance of addressing the actual issue at hand: harm to children. "Oh so it's only bad because the Chinese own it? You're okay with American propaganda?!??"
"TikTok Is Harming Children at an Industrial Scale" does not imply "Instagram Is Not Harming Children at an Industrial Scale". It is simply studying one app. There have been numerous reports of the dangers Instagram poses (especially to teens), and when they get posted we get a raft of "why just pick on Instagram?" comments. It's tedious.
