Here comes the first TikTok war
"The Russian invasion of Ukraine will be the first war to fully play out on social media. There will be no possibility of controlling the information."I disagree with this statement. The Chinese government has taken a controlling stake in Bytedance [1], which is the subsidiary that owns TikTok. It could perhaps, then be possible, that China would "alter" the algorithm of TikTok users worldwide to sway public opinion? Push certain videos that fit a given narrative, and hide others that don't?Tiktok collects and shares your data more than any other social media app, and it is unclear where it goes [2]. This could become a dangerous tool.[1] https://www.washingtonpost.com/technology/2021/08/17/chinese...[2] https://www.cnbc.com/2022/02/08/tiktok-shares-your-data-more...
