Do you think it would be possible to show this programmatically? As in scrape n posts from TikTok and Reels and show the first displays CCP tendencies?

Or is this like a general US freedom China dictator logic

It actually doesn't matter whether TT has done it already or not.

What matters is that it has the __capability__ of doing it, in ways that would be difficult to detect, when it proves expedient to do so.

  • Yup, but of course more than one person has to agree for this to actually happen. Which is not the case for other apps, like Twitter/X. If Musk wants to remove a government, he has only to promote "free speech" and let falsehoods and misinformation dominate his platform.

    • geopolitics aside could a turing machine identify misinformation / programatically check whether something is true or not? because even among humans there is no agreement
