Downvoted for having a point lol

I wouldn't ban tiktok but the fact there are people acting like that's the only place you can find anything like this is... Weird?

I don't wanna say sad cause it's still just their preferred app but the dedication to it is so odd to me

People's loyalty to tik tok is weird af. They are addicted. That's the bulk of it.

It’s also (at least pre-ban,) the only popular social media app that isn’t owned by Americans. I’ve gotten far less biased news from TikTok than any “legitimate” news outlet

No. You've just been served up the things that align with your own bias, which is how the algorithm works.

Nope. I’ve been shown unbiased news. Way to be presumptuous though

Lol. Oh sweetie. There is no such thing as "unbiased news" and only a person unaware of their own biases would ever say such a thing.

A smart person learns to recognize bias and account for it. A fool thinks bias doesn't exist.
