QAnon was massive on TikTok in 2019/2020, to the point that TikTok took measures to address it, blocking hashtags and banning accounts.
There seems to still be a large conspiratorial rabbit hole on TikTok that still leads to QAnon influencers (using more generalized hashtags and catch all conspiracies).
- nemothekid 2y agoQAnon related topics were banned in July/Aug 2020 and became community guidelines violations. Facebook did nothing about QAnon until post-January 6th. Given the demographics of those most heavily influenced by QAnon, it's ridiculous to imply that Tiktok had even a 10th of the influence of Facebook wrt to QAnon.

- asadotzler 2y agoWell, HN libertarians think the conspiracy should flourish.
