I have been without seeing tv news for many years now. I get my news in written format.
Everytime I stumble onto some video I don't understand how people don't understand all the million manipulations that are present in every single second of video.
Text is also manipulated but it is way easier to read over the manipulations, to fact check and to collect different sources of information.
I have anecdotal evidence that people get misinformation from tiktok.
My son in law (who unfortunately lives with us, but that's another rant) was telling me about a third assassination plot against Donald Trump. He wanted to show me this tiktok with the news. I was able to inform him that these rumors weren't accurate, and he quickly confirmed that.
But I only knew to question his assertion because i'd already seen news here on Lemmy that there were debunked rumors of another assassination plot. That is to say, Lemmy never pushed the tumor as news, but rather only reported about the already debunked rumors continuing to circulate. The disinformation continuing to spread was the interesting news on Lemmy.
I thought the United States government was going to block this app? what happened
Can TikTok just fuck off already?
But what about muh brainrot?
Eeehw tiktok
