At my middle school and high school the school wifi blocked most non-school-related websites/links (including like 90% of youtube), and mobile data was pretty shit in most of the building, so almost everyone I knew just installed a VPN app on their phone or got one on their laptop lmao those states are stopping no one
yeah trolls on tiktok still without fail comment “post this is on instagram reels” under trans, neurodivergent, etc. people’s videos to imply they’d get ruthlessly bullied if they’d have posted outside of tiktok. insta comments and content are pretty unfiltered and i guess that attracts the most edgy type of people. plus, tiktok straight up started out being run by teenage queer cosplayers, instagram is just zoomer/millennial facebook
