TikTok is making people dumber though, and it is a major security risk because it's well-known Chinese spyware / datamining software. These things are objectively true.
That said, inherently it's just a tool. And, while the tool is utilized for nefarious purposes, it also has the potential to be used for some good. I say the same thing about Twitter. Total CIA / fed datamining and spy app, but it also is a potent communications avenue, even with its evident risks and downsides.
