@eldersnake I am old gen. If I can’t read it, I pass. Ain’t nobody got time to watch a 30 minutes quasi-sensationalist video. 😂

Got a TL;DS (too long; didn’t see) version? 🙈

@fastidious TL;DS:
TikTok is made by a Chinese company specializing in IA and working closely with the Chinese government.
They use social engineering to hook up people desperate for attention and keep them using the app, trying to become viral.
The TikToks algorithm is made to collect as much user data as possible, form everywhere outside of the app and feeds them to the Chinese government.
This data is used to promote a certain way of life depending on the country, like the love for the Chinese government and importance of war in the Chinese version and using thots, degeneracy, missinformation and propaganda to dumb down people in most other countries.
During the last few years, Chins was (and still is) preparing for war while the rest of the worlds counties are divided and run by incompetent leaders and inhabited by citizens who'd rather look at thots than fight in WW3.
