What I find mad is that people are seriously depressed about this on /r/Tiktok. Yeah sure, I understand small creators now having a tough time having their business disappearing, but people are literally saying that TikTok was their only source of information and that they don't know what to do now??
TikTok had a lot of great independent journalists on the app. I personally got a lot of good information from people on the ground about issues that I didn't see talked about anywhere else on the Internet.
You empathize and educate.
Given the amount of nonsense that was on tiktok they'll probably be more informed now.
What nonsense was on there?
There was a lot of misinformation and misrepresentation of world events. Mostly not helped by the short form content.
Those people are too dumb for their own good. They were destined for failure no matter what.
Tik tok had some amazing news sources. I'd say the Washington Post on there was pretty good, they actually reported on the bullshit going on at the paper as well. There was a lot of great sources on the app. I'll say that tiktok is the only place you'll see news on Palestine not from the pov of Israel.
