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.

I see more political content on Twitter than TikTok bit a long shot

I watch TikTok more than most on this app and never saw the Bin Laden thing - only saw it on Twitter

People are overreacting IMO

I like baking /goodbread and building apps on web3 protocols. DevRel @ ENS Labs. gregskril.com

also how old are you? 

for those of us old enough to remember 9/11, the fact that we are debating whether Bin Laden is "right" and if he really is a "terrorist" is cause for major concern and a passionate reaction.

ily and i'm worried that you aren't concerned about the secondary and tertiary order effects of this :(

> how old are you? 

12

ofc I am concerned that people think Bin Laden was right !! I just don't think TikTok is to blame
