ICYMI: TikTok Is Not Your Doctor

Published: Feb. 12, 2022, 10 a.m.

b'TikTok doesn\\u2019t know you better than you know yourself, even if you think it does. On the show today, Rachelle and Madison talk about two different ways the app leads people down dangerous paths. First, they discuss the recent uptick in posts and advertisements focused on diagnosing mental and physical health issues, and how it\\u2019s so easy to convince yourself that you\\u2019re suffering from whatever malady TikTok has presented. Then, they discuss the tragic death of Miss USA 2019 Cheslie Kryst, who died by suicide last week, and the alarming development of TikTokkers convincing themselves that there was some nefarious conspiracy behind it.\\nPodcast production by Daniel Schroeder.\\nLearn more about your ad choices.
