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.

    Oh my god, I am tired of bad lemmy mods who are very inexperienced trying to exercise their powers in illogical ways.

    I will add this sub to my block list and move on, good luck.

      Best of luck to you, I hope you find a good community to post in. This isn’t reddit.

      I am not going to post on this sub again, good luck.
