TikTok has been pushing Chinese propaganda to millions of users in Europe: analysis::More than 1,000 ads from Chinese state media outlets have run on European users’ TikTok feeds since October 2022, according to the platform’s latest ad library update that was analyzed by Forbes.
Yeah, yeah, it’s Chinese government propaganda, but isn’t all advertisement basically propaganda? “Everything is rosy in Xinjiang” is a harmful lie, but so is “if you buy a big-ass truck you’ll be a manly man” and frankly I think the latter is causing a lot more damage because it’s one that people act on.
