From Wikipedia: “
So much for being impartial.
This doesn't necessarily mean they're not being impartial.
If a side's position is the truth, they're going to support impartiality, because they want the truth to be spread, which supports their side.
TikTok is probably about to start moderating heavily in favour of a pro-Israel/anti-Palestine bias, just like other Western social media platforms. It's possible that all a startup would have to do is not do this to secure funding from Palestinian investors.
My only question is whether they'll allow progressive types on their platform long-term.
From what I saw they are impartial but have an enormous moderation problem. Most likely due to being overwhelmed by the influx of new users.
I bet they're gonna need money to stem that influx, and I'm worried where they'll find it.
I feel like every platform outside of the Fediverse is like this nowadays.
