Can this qualify as red herring?

Person 1: TikTok is a platform that mostly consists of disgusting, vile and borderline illegal content. Sure there's some funny and good content on there, but the vast majority is like the former.

Person 2: TikTok is just like any other social media platform, they have the good and the bad. Look at twitter for example, there's a lot of bad content there

I concur with Dr Bo's answer, but out of curiosity, what makes you think this could qualify as a red herring?

Reason: Books I & II

This book is based on the first five years of The Dr. Bo Show, where Bo takes a critical thinking-, reason-, and science-based approach to issues that matter with the goal of educating and entertaining. Every chapter in the book explores a different aspect of reason by using a real-world issue or example.

Part one is about how science works even when the public thinks it doesn't. Part two will certainly ruffle some feathers by offering a reason- and science-based perspective on issues where political correctness has gone awry. Part three provides some data-driven advice for your health and well-being. Part four looks at human behavior and how we can better navigate our social worlds. In part five we put on our skeptical goggles and critically examine a few commonly-held beliefs. In the final section, we look at a few ways how we all can make the world a better place.

I see nothing wrong with this exchange. Person 1 stated an opinion and person 2 stated their opinion. For this to be taken seriously as an argument, person 1 would need to provide a reason/support for the claim that "TikTok is a platform that mostly consists of disgusting, vile and borderline illegal content."
