~~TikTok~~ Videos Spread Misinformation ~~to New Migrant Community in New York City.~~

This is not news.

But any story that blames only TikTok is highly sus.

And yep here it is...

An industry of highly coordinated smuggling organizations are using social media apps like TikTok to promise seamless travel services...

I have been without seeing tv news for many years now. I get my news in written format.

Everytime I stumble onto some video I don't understand how people don't understand all the million manipulations that are present in every single second of video.

Text is also manipulated but it is way easier to read over the manipulations, to fact check and to collect different sources of information.
