      Oh interesting

      This was in fact brought up by Republicans questioning the CEO of TikTok. They asked him why (or said it was unfair that) the Chinese version of TikTok shows stuff like science, math, and limit children’s usage of the app but the American one shows only mind numbing content lol (some of which he defined as pro Hamas, anti American content)

        He should’ve said, “content is created by the user, in line with government regulations; the greater the calibre of the user base and the government, the greater the calibre of the content”.

      Do we not really know revenue being generated that is directly attributable to Tik Tok?

      It’d be unlikely that Tiktok shares this detailed of financials to us. I’d imagine that Google data above got leaked from a random employee, they have a ton of analytics open to all workers
