I'm sure it really depends on where you live, but here in East Europe I've noticed tiktokkers slowly turning into Z'ers who start accepting Russian disinfo as facts. Meaning, it's already pro-MAGA

As with all social media, as soon as grandma and grandpa get on, it all goes down hill.

Man these people are so un American.

Good thing they don't have the skills to do it and make it attractive to the currect users. I'm fine with Larry Ellison's losing billions in the process.

They literally did that with Facebook. Yeah, plenty of people left, but it worked.

Tiktok was China's soft propaganda because they suppressed unfavorable content rather then promote favorable content. Trump going full MAGA with it would kill the platform because people use tiktok to stop thinking about distressing things. Not be exposed to more of it.

And renamed to Hate Tok

One more step towards the US becoming an NK clone. This is a good opportunity for Loops to advertise themselves as the anti-Tiktok.

Genuinely, how would it be any different to Twitter and Truth Social then? I've not used any of them so maybe I don't understand the distinction between each
