    Lol I know tiktok can influence what people see, but it’s basically the same as Facebook Google or YouTube, people see what they want to see.

      Except if it’s in Chinese interest to skew the public opinion in a certain direction (like in this case the Anti-American and anti-imperialist-spins on the war against Hamas)

        TikTok skews young.

        Younger people are more likely to support Palestinians over Israel.

        This is old people getting mad at youth for rejecting old failed politics.
