The first time I fired up TikTok I was subjected to video of an older, "surgically-enhanced" woman in a Trump bikini (intention obvious), and someone putting a bumper sticker about killing pedophiles on their car (intention less obvious: a dog whistle for QAnon).

Maybe it's not a nefarious CCP mind control platform. Maybe it is even doing this sort of thing totally blindly based on "engagement". But there's definitely propaganda being served up by default.
