I dunno… I was informed a lot on TikTok. Like, 2020-2022 I had a whole lot of “I was X years old when I learned this…” thanks to Black and Brown creators who got a voice on TikTok that was lacking anywhere else.
This doesn’t prove your point at all, there are plenty of other media outlets that were and still are reporting on Gaza. If you spent time outside of the brain rot app maybe you’d know this.
You just need to train your algorithm, my tik tok always show a lot of interesting educational stuff. I can’t remember the last time I saw any kind of soft porn there, my Instagram on the other hand is always shoving big and hard gym booties on my face.
Then you haven’t used it. The Reddit stream of 100% hate towards TikTok without understanding it is a very bad take. It provided a ton of momentum in recent US social movements.
Ya it’s literally the easiest way to get a quick video on something you wanna learn. Not to mention (unlike other platforms) you get a friendly face that teaches it to you
i wanted to learn how to do a certain knot once, and tiktok has short to-the-point videos, while youtube was filled with 10+minutes videos with long introductions, sponsors, long speeches on why you might want to know that knot,…
Because there’s no critical thought about who is delivering that information to you, where they got it from, what biases and/or agendas they may or may not have, etc…
If you are learning about the world through 15 second videos of a random internet stranger talking about a subject, then you are going to end up with a fucked up (and just objectively incorrect) worldview. But I guess it’s OK because they have a friendly face.
Not a fan of TikTok, but they did this because they weren’t towing the line on the master race’s genocide as an example to others who would dare defy the racial hierarchy of the West. That seems DEEPLY problematic on EVERY level.
I could be wrong, but I believe they TikTok ban stuff was in motion before Oct. 7 (assuming that’s what you’re referring to). Someone correct me if I’m wrong.
Not really. There are plenty of social media apps and services that aren’t toeing the line. TikTok is being targeted because of their relatioship with China.
TikTok has literally nothing to do with informing tho… it’s literally the opposite.

It’s literally the main reason people found out there was a genocide happening in Gaza.
Who?
That’s simply not true, you just spend too much time on TikTok
I’m simply engaging with reality. The funny part that this is openly admitted, but here we have you pretending it’s not the case. https://www.commondreams.org/news/mitt-romney-tiktok

Who?
And I mean who, as in creators putting out that content covering it, that actually has reach with the general public?

Right! I don’t get the hate

Which ones aren’t toeing the line, and allowing discussion of Israel being engaged in genocide, without their content being taken down?
I had 4 posts taken down on FB for “Anti-semitism” because I was sharing a video covering the genocide…
Mitt Romney explicitly admitted that the ban was due to TikTok not toeing the line on Palestine.
yes, trustworthy mitt

Lol, you’re suggesting he was lying about that? Antony Blinken was right next to him nodding along, is he also in on this lie?
