MODERATORS
Modernized privacy law alone wouldn't be enough. The danger from social media apps (not just TikTok) is algorithmically swaying public opinion. It's an ultra-refined form of propaganda.
Taking the GDPR as an example, a modern and widely recognized privacy law, there is virtually no protection from manipulation of your news feed. GDPR is primarily worried about gathering and resale of personal information to data brokers. Within a service, it's virtually guaranteed to obtain consent from people to gain full access to the site.
