That’s one way to spread the message to the world that you’ve given up on freedom and democracy. It’s as if TikTok is a monster that eats the brains of our children, and the problem they have with it is that the wrong person is holding its leash.

They aren’t just targeting the far-right and they are not just spreading far-right lies. There’s misinformation for everybody and of every color on that platform.

Of course it does, don’t know why you think I don’t.
