Like the other person said, cigarettes are not illegal. Are we really going to pretend that whatever harm TikTok causes is comparable to lung cancer?

Like the other posts you're arguing against have said, the argument is not that social media or personalized algorithms should be "illegal"

And "are we going to pretend" is a non-argument that works both ways: "Are we really going to pretend individualized algorithmic social media hasn't caused harm to society on par with smoking?" would be equally unconvincing
