> I've also learned about political corruption and breaking news

I uh... don't think that's a great place to get that kind of information



Why? A city council member was removed for good reason. A get updates from a congressman on tiktok, even though he voted for the ban. I first learned of the attempted Trump assassination on tiktok, way before it was anywhere on any news site.

I have also heard propaganda. I try to look into things as it makes sense. Someone says something odd or enough videos come my way that I look more into something.

What I absolutely do not trust is any single source, especially any single big publication. Gell-Manning effect.
