Which probably explains how Politifact makes their rulings. They also get more than 5% their total revenue from Facebook.

PolitiFact also receives compensation for selling its content to media publishers and companies. Organizations that contributed more than 5 percent of total PolitiFact revenues in the previous calendar year will be listed here:

• Facebook

• TikTok"

"In November 2019, a class action lawsuit was filed in California that alleged that TikTok transferred personally identifiable information of U.S. persons to servers located in China owned by Tencent and Alibaba.[291][292][293] The lawsuit also accused ByteDance, TikTok's parent company, of taking user content without their permission. The plaintiff of the lawsuit, college student Misty Hong, downloaded the app but said she never created an account. She realized a few months later that TikTok has created an account for her using her information (such as biometrics) and made a summary of her information. The lawsuit also alleged that information was sent to Chinese tech giant Baidu.[294] In July 2020, twenty lawsuits against TikTok were merged into a single class action lawsuit in the United States District Court for the Northern District of Illinois.[295] In February 2021, TikTok agreed to pay $92 million to settle the class action lawsuit.[296]"

That is really bad because people spend really much time nowadays on TikTok, so politicians will be able to manipulate the crowd's opinions and sentiments. The psychology of people is actually really weak and with short fast videos, you can affect it significantly. When I had a lack of sales, we simply made our TIKTOK account with product videos and used a service where you can buy tiktok views and pay with PayPal to start views lick like a snowball, and then there was a boom.
