LMAO, The company that makes the algorithm has control over what that algorithm “weighs” it’s not that hard for them to tweak the values so it “weighs” whatever propaganda or content they want to push more of much higher than other content.
It’s true, the end user does have some influence on the algorithm, but when they have it tweaked to “weigh” pro-CCP or pro-Right-wing trash much higher than other content it doesn’t take much to end up falling back. For example, watching part of single pro-Trump video would make the algorithm push much more Trump trash where it would take 5 “normal” fully watched videos to continue showing “normal” videos.
And that’s assuming the average user is even aware enough to influence it to that degree, which they don’t.
Plus, US based users have their data stored on US servers hosted by Oracle, China has no access to it.
Yea, the data is stored in the US, but it still influences the TikTok US algorithm (because they have a separate algorithm for China ofc) which is still wholly controlled outside of the US
