  - in theory i agree but TikTok's algorithm specifically is what even their competitors would argue makes it uniquely addictive -- nm - mr mooch Oct 8, 09:05 2
    - That sounds like it would have to end up with a "I know it when I see it" ruling. -- nm - Max Oct 8, 10:55
    - oh but we can have children's gambling games that are directly using that addictive urge? saying "but it's MORE addictive" is a weak argument - colin Oct 8, 09:09
