He's super based. Christian Conservative type who is awoken to all of the chicanery of our government.
However he does use TikTok regularly. I was surprised by the experience he described though on the platform. According to him they didn't really censor anyone, not even nearly as bad as Facebook and Twitter (pre Musk) did. In fact he's able to get a lot of important truth about Covid and Elections and anything else that was regularly censored on other big tech platforms.
I don't use it myself. Has anyone here used TikTok and can attest to what my Uncle claims?
It does not censor much because China wants the telemetrics on everyone - especially different viewpoints of the American political sides.
FWIW read their TOS sometime. They record everything from your device file names to keystrokes.
