What, the CCP, having already previously used TikTok as a propaganda tool to push narratives that support their interests, proactively supported the side that would help ruin their biggest foreign adversary? WHO coulda thunk it.

Okay, if they can alter the wx, I’ll be fucking impressed.

Why would you post a pay walled study?

It doesn't even show the abstract, this post is pointless except to people who only read headlines and never understand anything...

What I can read of the posted link states it’s a summary of this open access article.

I guess they only read the headline

Right...

And if OP had linked that, it would have made sense.

Instead they linked a pay walled summary of something that people could actually read. Which was pointless.

Edit:

Likely due to OP "headline shopping"...

The one people can actual read would have had to be titled:

Systematic partisan content skews in TikTok during the 2024 US elections

OP wanted something that looked like an academic study but had a editorialized headline...

And if you want that, you can't link real studies, the best you can do is summaries, which are published like a study but isn't abstudy

It was seized by the state and handed over to zionists.
