Idk if people so much think that TikTok in and of itself is anti-imperialist, but it seemed like it was much easier to access pro-palestine and socialist content on there since it wasn’t so censored/policed, and that kind of content reached a lot of younger people whose politics may have been affected by that. I think people are fully aware that it’s chock full of toxic/racist/problematic content too. Makes sense that it would be sold off like this though.
