Currently TikTok is the only one that is not heavily skewed to promote state-approved content.


US state - maybe not. The state of China - perhaps /s

Jokes aside, I signed up for TikTok over the summer and while it feels like it is not heavily skewed either way it 100% can be gamed (see Romanian elections)…

I believe that the only way social media could be net positive so the society when the comes to politics is with account identity proofing like IAL2. this is also why talking about “freedom of speech” when it comes to social media is ridiculous because while individuals should have freedom of speech (rogue)government-controlled bots are not afforded those same liberties.
