They never said “people watched children be exploded on twitter or Insta”. That could be due to user preference or whatever, but as an outsider, I have the ambient notion that more of this kind of content was coming from tiktok.

    More concretely, in a lot of the stuff that came out of the twitter files, it’s clear that the US government does have, what I would classify as, inappropriate contact with american social media companies that can controle narratives.

    Edit: My only source for this was the podcast I mentioned, so take it with a grain of salt. I hope it’s true though. It’s such an interesting idea for a sword.
