Fears over TikTok misinformation ahead of US midterm elections

[@theeraphatsunthornwit6266]

If it is not on your side, it is misinformation😅

[@UNSKIALzPSN]

Claiming elections are rigged with 0 credible evidence is dangerous misinformation. Their report is accurate 🤷‍♂️

I'm more worried about "misinformation" made by the likes of channel four news, than a few short videos for kids. How about reporting on that?

[@seansexton2005]

The irony of seeing a tiktok advert before watching this video tells you everything you need to know.

[@Ben777World]

Who decides what is 'misinformation'?

[@chrismckellar9350]

It depends on who you ask especially in the USA.

[@UNSKIALzPSN]

If you make a claim with 0 credible evidence, that's misinformation. Pretty simple. This is why talk of "election rigging" is considered blatant misinformation - There's no proof.

[@p-james]

Anyone with half a brain

[@sonofsomerset1695]

Isnt it strange how the so-called misinformation by Channel 4 has all the evidence on its side, yet their information has almost nothing to back it up apart from they tell us something is true and we just have to trust them, nah, no thanks.

[@REKRadiantEliteKaptivation]

Great video keep dropping content 🌎🔥

[@christopherhitchens163]

Elon musk was right, he should just buy the platform and delete it. TikTok is cancer, parents are so irresponsible to let children on a platform with so much trolling. You have videos of people dancing and then cutting to clips of people shooting themselves or beheadings etc

[@Krytern]

Parents don't check on what their kids are doing they are just happy that their kids are doing their own thing so they don't have to constantly watch them.

[@davebirch1976]

[@TheMcarrano]

Or take the BLM riots of 2000

[@rjkmusicmedia]

Why is merely talking about the election; opinion on the constitutionality, legality, and perception of it, being so thwarted? It's clearly a sign they know there is something there. It's far more anti-democratic to stop people discussing it openly.

[@Krytern]

While I agree with you for the most part it doesn't automatically mean there must be something there. With modern technology one tiny bit of fake news can cause a national incident. The Capitol riot is proof of this. These people aren't just "discussing" a rigged election they are saying it is a fact with empirical evidence even though no empirical evidence has been shown. When someone speaks against the facts it is called a lie. Free speech doesn't make you immune to consequences.

[@rjkmusicmedia]

@@Krytern No, you moron- there is the constitutional argument of the directly elected state legislatures solely making election law and choosing electors- that was overturned both by covid and governors sending slates and crafting new dictates, also legislating from the bench or inaction when it came to the courts. That is empirical. Try to stop deflecting and assuming discussion in a democracy in an open debate leads to violence. You are more dangerous.

[@seangallagher8233]

7pm used to be 'Channel 4 News time'; I avidly watched their endless coverage of anything 2016 election skulduggery related, especially all that stuff about Cambridge Analytica! However, just like all the other corporate media, I find their discussion of any 2020 election discrepancies rather limited (it's just ad hominem character assassinations, and repetition of the word 'lie'); I wonder why. Remember folks: 'misinformation' means 'contradicts the corporate narrative'.

[@UNSKIALzPSN]

You have to remember Channel 4 are a bit left leaning. However, their coverage here of misinformation is accurate - Unless you truly believe Republicans are losing because of "rigging"?

[@seangallagher8233]

@@UNSKIALzPSN 'left leaning'? I guess that's one way of describing them lol Well, maybe I'm one of those quirky types who likes to consider opinions from both sides of an argument, then make judgments based upon facts, rather than beliefs. .....My point being that, especially regarding THIS topic, there's precious little, .....or zero, coverage about the rigging claims, other than pure and simple character assassinations. There's enough divisive propaganda around, setting everyone against each other. This 'left leaning' channel is just part of the problem. If you always attribute the other guy's opinion to craziness, then the world's not gonna become a better place, any time soon.

[@shadykid5939]

people treat it that its because its chinese app even though western apps are just as bad. TikToks algorithms dont promote discoveribility of new ideas they trap you into content they know you would like, its a good business model but not good for the invidual. KZbin may reccomend you most of your content about 80% from people you watched at some point(it can change), but as far as i know and seen TikTok has no new content. which create a content bubble; making you trapped into a specific kind of content as its preferable but may not be correct
