harm

Read a random definition: historian

A quick definition of harm:

Harm means when something bad happens that causes damage or injury. It can be physical harm, which means pain or illness to the body, or material harm, which means damage to things like property. Social harm is when something bad happens that affects a group of people and is against the law. For example, if someone steals from a store, it causes harm to the store and the people who work there.

A more thorough explanation:

Definition: Injury, loss, or damage that causes material or tangible detriment. Harm can be accidental or not caused by any tortious act. It can also refer to physical pain, illness, or impairment of the body, as well as any physical impairment of land, chattels, or the human body. Social harm refers to an adverse effect on any social interest that is protected by the criminal law.

  • An example of accidental harm is when a person slips and falls on a wet floor, causing injury.
  • Bodily harm refers to physical pain or impairment of the body, such as a broken bone or a cut.
  • Serious bodily harm is a more severe form of bodily harm, such as a permanent disability or disfigurement.
  • Social harm can occur when a crime is committed that affects a protected social interest, such as when a hate crime is committed against a particular group of people.

These examples illustrate the different types of harm that can occur and how they can be classified. Accidental harm is not intentional, while bodily harm and serious bodily harm refer to physical injuries. Social harm is a broader concept that encompasses any adverse effect on a protected social interest.

I think tik tok is evil and coming from a national defense background, working in PSYOP and in the intelligence community I can promise it is.
