NEW: researchers say #TikTok screen time predicts level of pro-#China views on key topics.
Why? They say #TikTok boosts pro-#China content & actively suppress criticisms of China.
E.g. they find sensitive topics like #Taiwan, persecution of #Uyghurs & #Tibet are buried by pro-#CCP influencer content & irrelevant vids.

If you have a problem with Tiktok but don’t have a problem with Facebook or Instagram then your opinion is worthless. At least tiktok makes a good product, so good that American lawmakers are scared because they can’t control them.
Spoken like a true addict.
Tiktok is genuinely terrible, as is Facebook and Instagram (though TikTok is somewhat worse).
You’re on Lemmy. People here don’t like Facebook or Instagram either.
I agree with your first half, but what the fuck is good about TikTok?
Whereas FB and insta are 98% ads and reposts, tiktok has some vitality.
I’m leaving this up for now, but watch yourself Moderateimprovement. This is the second rage bait like post wrapped in a sandwich of decent posts. If I have to play whack a mole, I’ll just ban you. Other users, you’re awesome for not playing the game.
Oh my god, I am tired of bad lemmy mods who are very inexperienced trying to exercise their powers in illogical ways.
I will add this sub to my block list and move on, good luck.
Best of luck to you, I hope you find a good community to post in. This isn’t reddit.
I am not going to post on this sub again, good luck.
Its rage bait to post sourced material now? The fuck?
