- realusername 2y agoFor now the Russian media and Twitter have worse influence on democracy than Tiktok ever did.
- immibis 2y agoYou're not thinking like a politician - you're thinking like the point is to maintain democracy etc. Russia Today will never tell people there's a genocide in Gaza, while TikTok does tell them that, so the latter is much more dangerous to politicians. I don't know why politicians have this weird attitude towards Gaza, but they do. Also, the propaganda on Russia Today supports strong governments, so your job as a politician will be safe even if they swing the next election. The propaganda on TikTok does not.
- golergka 2y ago> Russia Today will never tell people there's a genocide in Gaza, while TikTok does tell them that Well if RT was banned for other instances of disinformation, then Tiktok should absolutely be banned for this one.
- immibis 2y agoThat isn't disinformation though? The disinformation in that case is the one being pushed by Western politicians. The propaganda on RT is of a completely different nature than the propaganda on TikTok.
