It is a chinese social media app.
Use established media for news.
And yes I know that is how people get content, I use Youtube and Twitch for political news and its just as bad.
But this is on another level.
- rvz 5y agoI was asking [0] for strong evidence of TikTok being a tool to manipulate the west and it seems that this is all the evidence that satisfies this claim. It is no wonder governments would love to use this glorified recommendation algorithm as it is the new digital crack / cocaine which is effective on manipulating billions of users today. Now looking back at this once again [1], I don't even think it was a clever thing to say that "TikTok is the best thing to have happened to the Internet". At most it is the direct opposite and it is even worse than Facebook.

- dncornholio 5y agoThose comments on your critical thinking is what is worrying me about todays society. Even going as far as offending you, wow.
- SV_BubbleTime 5y ago> Use established media for news. And what if the topic is say, Hunter Biden’s laptop? If you got your news solely from TikTok, you probably would have know that was real about 500 days before NYT and WaPo finally admitted it.
