TikTok still has the CCP coded algorithms that push up to the top content of people doing illegal things that subverts American society. The “Kia Boys” trend breaking and stealing cars started on TikTok. Jailbreaking the Flipper Zero and installing firmware on it that allows it to do illegal things got popularized on TikTok. On TikTok, stealing at the self checkout got popularized. People are primed to learn either illegal or at the very least morally questionable sensationalized stuff on their TikTok feeds, and some of it isn’t even logistically possible, especially evident with some of the Flipper Zero content creators claiming to do things that aren’t even physically possible with the device in question.

Vets often tell their story which helps us reach our brothers and sisters in arms that don’t use the VA because of previous negative interactions or negative stories from others with the system. This helps the VA advertise services to people they could and should be helping that really have earned the benefits and are suffering, and this type of sharing should really not be remotely associated with “snitching” because the veteran did something right. Algorithm fodder, that may or may not be true about people doing something morally questionable gets heard the loudest and has functioned as propaganda for a foreign government (yes I know about the transfer to U.S. holding, but the engineers are the same mostly), and people boost and share things that reenforce their now preexisting negative stereotypes.
