TikTok has a drug-like effect on the brain. Multiple studies show a clear link between excessive TikTok engagement and increased levels of anxiety, depression, and stress. Maybe it is time we regulate it like a drug?

Hyperbole of some sort. I think it works on both the positive and negative side of the axis too.

I’ll have a packet of cigarettes, a fifth of vodka, and an unrestricted personal electro device.

ID please.

Seems entirely reasonable.

Possibility entirely ineffective, but then again I don’t often see children walking around with bottle a of booze.

This is how the internet is run in countries where you need ID to connect to services. It’s not at all dystopian.
