>over organic content created by TikTok users about workers‘ rights? the algorithm can be easily influenced to push propaganda and sway opinions. From the Twitter Files (and even prior) we know the old Twitter regime, for example, existed to push woke leftists agendas, including working with the whitehouse and various govt agencies to push propaganda.

They didn’t reveal anything like what you describe. And the admin in the White House when the supposed collusion happened was the Trump admin.

  It’s not supposed, it happened. They partnered with the whitehouse of the past and current regimes, but the bias was always to push one sides agenda.

You're right that hands are on the scales of the algorithms. But if this is a psyop I think it's going to backfire. Labour theft, power imbalance and unfair employment practices eat away at the foundations of the social contract. I can hardly think of a worse way to undermine the U.S than to encourage workers to get fair pay and working conditions.

  TikTok videos aren’t pushing for fair pay or working conditions. Those videos will have low engagement and view through rates, being dry and boring topics. The psyop is about making consumers aspire to be a social media influencer, rather than having meaningful role in society. The videos pushing for fair pay is often “sign up to get my get rich quick course”. China’s version of Tiktok have forced content filters and the content featured by the algo is radically different from the US version. They’re winning the psyop. https://www.adchina.io/douyin-vs-tiktok/ https://www.adchina.io/douyin-vs-tiktok/

That’s not what the Twitter Files showed at all (even assuming a generous meaning of “woke leftists agenda”). In fact, what the Twitter Files showed was the one occasion that they did push the White House’s position, it was done by a low level decision maker and was overturned very rapidly once it became known by management, and led to changes which greatly reduced the chances of something like that happening again.

  Completely false, and this is bogus narrative that the mainstream press is pushing in their efforts to coverup how much influence govt had over Twitter. US govt is heavily involved with pushing propaganda across all outlets, but only Elon has opted to expose it to the public, making him a threat to the establishment, especially the woke leftists in power. > 14. This secret group included Head of Legal, Policy, and Trust (Vijaya Gadde), the Global Head of Trust & Safety (Yoel Roth), subsequent CEOs Jack Dorsey and Parag Agrawal, and others. > 15. This is where the biggest, most politically sensitive decisions got made. “Think high follower account, controversial,” another Twitter employee told us. For these “there would be no ticket or anything.” Twitter management was fully engaged. The head of trust and legal were involved in decisions, especially the ongoing partnership with the FBI — with screenshots and transcripts showing the deep levels of engagement.
