TikTok has spent months separating code for US-only algorithm, insiders claim.

    I used to be neutral on the ban until I read about their politically-motivated content moderation and how they push certain narrative into people’s feeds.

      Like every other media outlet, or publisher? I could not care less about what they are pushing, it will be abused.

      Are we still talking about TikTok or is it Facebook/Twitter/every US social media site?

        None of them have been as aggressive as TikTok. Most US social media companies have failed to curtail right wing bigots but that a separate conversation from TikTok tbh

      I read about their politically-motivated content moderation

      Links? What kind of “politically-motivated content”?

      I’m pretty sure they’re banning TikTok because reality/truth tends to disillusion the youth and liberate the oppressed.

      • TikTok: Why people think the US bill to ban app is linked to pro-Palestine content
      • TikTok isn’t creating false support for Palestine. It’s just reflecting what’s already there.

        Yeah your links don’t address the actual data disparities though. I love Vox but that article is super naive.

        Edit: and the other link doesn’t really say much else
