  I wouldn’t trust any organization that has “truth” in its name. It’s like the car salesperson who says “Trust me” way too much.

  And according to Media Bias/Fact Check, they’ve got a clear bias and are not classified as factual reporting.

    Pretty sure they are referencing a publicly available interview

      The tiktok hate on this platform is bizarre.

        I think it just got hyper-politicized and segregated along political lines during the reddit migration.

        You can pretty well predict the comment sentiment based on how the topic relates to political discourse. It’s not surprising that a liberal-dominated instance would view TikTok through a political lense, even if it’s super disappointing.

        Other privacy-focused instances might see this less politically but lemmy.world has become centered around liberal politics.

      That does seem to be how the article (and Twitter comment) framed it, yes

        Yes. I’m not clear on why you went on a tangent about how untrustworthy the site linking the video is.
