this is meaningfully concerning.

TikTok is a great platform for entertainment, and a terrible one for news. 

its capacity to cause harmful social contagions is unparalleled.

vids have 3 secs to capture attention (10 words) with zero way to fact check content (unlike community notes), and the algo boosts controversy.

can you dive deeper into why it's concerning? I think of it like 10 second videos or 0 seconds of news

if the real news is 10 minutes of saying a school was shot up, why is 10 seconds worse? if the story is a school being shot up, the political propaganda is white, black, christian, muslim, incel, left, right, and etc

i see it as depth vs breadth mostly. maybe the everything app will help

10 seconds of propaganda is still 0 seconds of real news
