It'd be much more surprising to see the Awmerican government manipulating the algorithms etc to push propoganda narratives whereas it's a pretty safe assumption that's the case on tiktok.

Edit: Sorry, do downvoters think the American government is adjusting social media algorithms? Or do folks not believe China would do so?

You know what they say about assuming...

[-] Lauchs@lemmy.world 6 points 1 month ago

To be clear, you imagine the Chinese government, which has a large group dedicated to censoring all internet communication/social media behind the Great Firewall, has decided that it would be rude to tweak algorithms to push similar narratives to what the Party would push?

Or what, China's very public efforts to shape global narratives only goes as far as public and global policy but they respect the sanctity of your social media feed?
