NEW: researchers say #TikTok screen time predicts level of pro-#China views on key topics.

Why? They say #TikTok boosts pro-#China content & actively suppress criticisms of China.

E.g. they find sensitive topics like #Taiwan, persecution of #Uyghurs & #Tibet are buried by pro-#CCP influencer content & irrelevant vids.

    My guy you’re on lemmy I’d be surprised if anywhere close to half of us had instagram accounts. Facebook is generally delegated to “keeping up with a couple old relatives and maybe facebook market place/certain hobbies that unfortunately exclusively organize on facebook”

      I use FB for marketplace, local groups, and dull men’s club.

      I kind of have to have an instagram account, I feel like a lot of us are in that boat. I’m not happy about it though.
