Not only that, but it’s likely the same reason this story is getting airtime at outlets like Fox News. People skim the headlines, see “ToTok,” and associate it with TikTok.
Even this NYT article doesn’t clarify the difference until near the end. That seems irresponsible to me. Many readers would be unfamiliar with both, but recognize the general sound of the name as “TikTok.” The author should have included the clarification in the first paragraph.
