TikTok is actually the worst platform of all – and Tanja then just made short work of it. 'I deleted this three months ago. At some point in July I said: 'I can't do it anymore.' I go on TikTok and see something of myself again, which sucks, why I use filters... Everything I do is questioned,' she describes the situation. She is also no longer on Facebook and Snapchat.
