    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.

      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.

        I am only on mastodon and lemmy, yet I have only seen things from pro-palestan standpoint.

        Believe it or not, building a ethical platform will encourage ethical news on there. Unethical platform might sometimes push ethical news, but eventually will only prioritize its own agenda.

            This might sounds surprising to you, but all big tech monopolies love money more than their users.

            They will push whatever agenda that makes them more money, and this is exactly what got every social media into the current enshittified stage.

            Keep kissing their ass, then they will turn around and send your lips straight to Trump.

      Given the amount of nonsense that was on tiktok they’ll probably be more informed now.

      So the ban is reaching exactly the people it was set out to reach. Good.

      Those people are too dumb for their own good. They were destined for failure no matter what.
