Tik Tok wasn't built to be used as a weapon though.

Are you sure about that?

Yeah.

I don't subscribe to the hypocritical vies that people are expected to have "free will" and "freedom", while also being "influenced by the algorithm".

Its either one or the other. Personally I think its the former, and Tik Tok is just confirming to people what they want to hear.

		<< Its either one or the other. Why would that be a given? If we remove tiktok and replace it with anything else, that replaced influence does not automatically negate my will? Case in point, when I call my mother to talk a new car purchase, does her disliking my choice automatically mean I either influenced and therefore have no will? I am not certain you considered edge cases here.

Weapons can come in all forms and sizes. When wielded with the blend of censorship and propaganda, (social) media is absolutely a weapon. Is there a reason why it won’t be?
