Rob's prediction for 2024
Rob predicts that the US government will ban TikTok, citing concerns about its influence on American youth and a focus on trivial content. However, he believes that even if TikTok disappears, another platform will emerge to fill the void, and the impact on the larger cultural issue will be minimal. Rob also suggests that social media platforms may implement new features, such as automatic usage limits or family-safe guidelines, to appeal to parents and society at large.
