Tiktok China is supposed to be educational and informative.
Tiktok America is entertainment only.
The theory is that China is poisoning the minds of young Americans by not developing interests in educational things.
- belltaco 4y agoOr it's a commercial company looking to make money by whatever legal means possible in the country it operates in. China does not respect freedom for their citizens and even has laws against kids gaming for long hours. > The theory is that China is poisoning the minds of young Americans by not developing interests in educational things It makes as much sense as saying that the US is trying to make Chinese people fat by serving high calorie empty nutrient foods in McDonalds and Starbucks stores in China.
- pancrufty 4y agoYes super educational and informative like all those mukbang videos and unique content created by those famous live-streaming factories. [1] Chinese users are interested in junk just as much as westerners, if not more, so they will be fed exactly what keeps them glued to their phones. I don’t believe for a second that every Chinese kid is on Douyin watching science videos for hours.

- newswasboring 4y agoI'm in Europe so I'm not sure which TikTok I access, but my TikTok is fairly educational. A running joke in my friends group is 'ways to get thirst traps on <my name>'s fyp'. I see this kind of comment all the time, but would like to see any source on it. Otherwise it's just a random conspiracy theory.
