Wow, what a bunch of crap. Are you really, really holding up tiktok as a bastion of truth? Are you not aware of the many was crimes that US soldiers have been involved with that have sparked global outage, way before tiktok existed, because there really is a free press?

The US doesn't have soldiers in Gaza, it's not commiting war crimes there. You can make a good case that the arms were providing to an ally are being used to commit a genocide, which is plenty bad enough, but don't weaken the term "war crime" by using it inappropriately. And it's not like people are only finding out about it through tiktok. Go read NPR and you'll see quite a lot about it. Read AP. Read Reuters.

But sure, go trust a site whose algorithms are controlled by the Chinese government and think that you aren't being manipulated. You do you.

Exactly... if you want news - go to the sources of news. If you want funny dances and horribly acted skits - go to social media
