Will National Service stop TikTok brain rot?

James Price, former government advisor and Chief of Staff, joins Reem Ibrahim and Matthew Lesh from the IEA for a thought-provoking discussion on TikTok and its impact on our generation.

James Price argues that TikTok’s algorithm is a form of "brain rot," targeting the cerebral cortex of young users with addictive content. He contrasts the Chinese TikTok algorithm, which promotes educational content, with the Western version, likening it to "crack cocaine."

James argues the Government's recent National Service scheme as a solution, suggesting it could help young people break free from their devices and contribute to society.
