    The far right is using TikTok to reach young demographics. Banning it directly contradicts his interests.

      Yeah, all of the “vibes are off” jokes aside, TikTok is drastically different after the ban was lifted. I have gotten straight up racist and fascist propaganda on my fyp, and there are a lot of sympathetic comments on those videos. But I never got those videos before, because my algorithm was automatically filtering them out. It’s almost as if the app has been programmed to bypass the algorithm and occasionally show alt-right talking points to everyone, just in the hopes of casting as wide a net as possible.

        I’ve had that experience on all social media platforms. Sometimes just straight up hard right propaganda will appear on my feed and I have to block it again and again.
