1. Un Maelstrom de Desinformación Política.
Se acusa a la plataforma de ser un ecosistema de desinformación de una magnitud sin precedentes, que supuestamente beneficia a figuras políticas como Donald Trump al crear un caos informativo que supera a otras redes sociales.
- "trump's sudden love of tiktok shows he needs disinfo more than he hates china" "tiktok is good for trump, and for one simple reason: it is a maelstrom of disinformation so gargantuan that even elon musk-controlled twitter fails to […].
- Tiktok is magat infested. It helped trump win. Free speech wasn't intended to protect disinformation.
- The democrats who pushed for the tiktok ban are helping trump and his allies turn tiktok into a propaganda tool that will soon unleash an algorithm-driven firehose of maga disinformation to the 170 million americans who use it.
- Tiktok became a cesspool of maga and rightwing disinformation during the 2024 elections. It should be banned.
- “tiktok is good for trump, and for one simple reason: it is a maelstrom of disinformation so gargantuan that even elon musk-controlled twitter fails to compete.”.
2. Influencia China y Riesgos para la Seguridad Nacional.
La principal preocupación se centra en la propiedad china de TikTok, lo que genera temores de que el gobierno de Beijing pueda manipular el algoritmo para difundir propaganda, censurar contenido y recopilar datos sensibles de los usuarios estadounidenses.
- Tiktok is dangerous to american democracy because china wants to dismantle it through disinformation.
- Disinformation isn't the issue with tiktok. The issue is how the chinese government may be using the data collected by tiktok.
- Or social media like tiktok controlled by adversarial foreign governments trying to spread disinformation and weaken the us and western democracies.
- Tiktok is a tool of the chinese communist party to control others and spread disinformation.
- With tiktok, the issue is national security. China’s laws give its gov access to vast user data, enabling interference in elections and disinformation. A serious risk to democracies that goes beyond privacy concerns.
3. Escepticismo y Comparaciones con Plataformas Estadounidenses.
Surgen voces críticas que señalan que la desinformación es un problema endémico en todas las redes sociales, incluyendo X (Twitter) y las plataformas de Meta. Argumentan que enfocarse únicamente en TikTok podría ser una distracción o tener motivaciones xenófobas.
- Actually i see more disinformation on the platforms other than tiktok. Such as twitter and facebook. Facebook is a joke right now. It has also become clickbait central.
- So instead of chinese disinformation on tiktok, we will get american disinformation on tiktok… it’s still disinformation.
- Serious question, what’s the difference between x and tiktok in terms of disinformation? my feed on x is a continuous stream of conspiracy theories and right wing propaganda. Maybe we should ban x next?
- I have mixed feelings about tiktok but it’s ridiculous to ban *one* social media platform for fear it might compromise us security while the owner of another platform spreads disinformation on behalf of hostile foreign powers and has been accused of interfering with elections all over the globe.
- As the most powerful, privately owned, disinformation system on earth, twitter/x is much more of a threat than tiktok!
4. El Impacto en la Sociedad y la Juventud.
Se describe a la plataforma como un foco de 'brain rot' (pudrición cerebral) que contribuye a la difusión de teorías de conspiración, propaganda y narrativas dañinas, afectando especialmente la percepción y el conocimiento de las generaciones más jóvenes.
- Tiktok can literally use disinformation for kinetic effects. Think using gaza protesters to glue themselves to military assets, block bridges and highways, attack utilities, etc. They can use disinformation to turn people into weapons and they won't even know they've been manipulated.
- This is correct. Tiktok is a brainrot firehouse and a major contributor to mis and disinformation and the spread of conspiracy theories. And that’s by design. It’s time to pull the plug on the ccp’s influence operation on us.
- Considering trump thinks tiktok won him the election i dunno if that's a good thing. Ngl i have yet to see a single thing from tiktok that wasn't brain rot.
- Tiktok is killing this country with disinformation. It should be banned. Trump wants to save it for a quick buck at the expense of democracy.
- 1/3 of americans age 18-29 get most or all of their news from tiktok. We know tiktok is subject to manipulation by the ccp. Tiktok algorithms are what divided the electorate with disinformation.
