TikTok has literally nothing to do with informing tho... it's literally the opposite.

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

Right! I don’t get the hate

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.

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.

Mitt Romney explicitly admitted that the ban was due to TikTok not toeing the line on Palestine.

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?

It's literally the main reason people found out there was a genocide happening in Gaza.

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.
