    Such a fucking shame. Tiktok was instrumental in collective action, news, and education for young people. They stole it and turned it into a brainrot farm.

        Tiktok was directly responsible for mobilizing the gen z vote in 2018, 2020, and 2022. It helped get them mad enough to protest, it shared video of events in Hong Kong, Iran and Isreal.

        It covered oceangate.

        It covered the murder of the united health care ceo.

        It covered action in Ukraine.

        It covered privacy issues and other concerns in the tech world.

        Its fact.

        We are less informed now that it had been taken over by US billionaires.
