“Smart, well-educated, young people from our own country, from around the world, where were they getting their information?” asked Clinton during a New York conference hosted by the Israeli newspaper Israel Hayom. “They were getting their information from social media, particularly TikTok.”
She continued, “That is where they were learning about what happened on October 7th, what happened in the days, weeks, and months to follow. That’s a serious problem. It’s a serious problem for democracy, whether it’s Israel or the United States, and it’s a serious problem for our young people.”
This is the quote from Clinton. She’s bringing up the dangers of media manipulation, and this article’s headline kinda proves her point.
If that actually is your opinion, then you’re the living proof that Clinton is right. Social media is completely full of disinformation, misinformation and hybrid threats from Russia, China and many more.
She doesn’t say anything close to that actually, try to read the article again in a more matter-of-factly way. Your completely legitimate political opinions -I don’t particularly like Hillary Clinton myself- shouldn’t prevent you from judging what she says fairly.
The party told you to reject the evidence of your eyes and ears. It was their final, most essential command. His heart sank as he thought of the enormous power arrayed against him, the ease with which any Party intellectual would overthrow him in debate, the subtle arguments which he would not be able to understand, much less answer. And yet he was in the right! They were wrong and he was right.
Now that Harris moved the needle to 2016 Republicans, it’s now time for the DNC brainwormed shitlibs to say that anything that the DNC told them is Fake News. You can’t pay rent? Fake news! Line went up!
No it doesn’t. She’s blaming social media for actually getting the truth out there. She’s been at the center of US politics for decades, in the White House for a lot of the time. She’s just panicking because the narrative that she’s been part of pushing is crashing down.
Misinformation is a problem, yes. And traditional media also reports misinformation. Here is how responsible actors react to misinformation.

Tiktok is probably a more unbiased source compared to western media.

Look at the 2024 Romanian presidential election.
I’m more worried about hybrid threats from Americans. China never bombed or invaded our corner of the world.
Correct, it’s why Congress tried to ban it until it became Trump approved propaganda. It was unbiased, and had to be for American ears.
All I see is the Queen of the Centrists assuming anyone who disagrees with her must be stupid or gullible instead of absolutely right.
So basically a centrist acting like every other centrist I’ve ever encountered. Dead wrong and arrogant about it.

“You’re taking what he’s saying out of context! That’s not what he meant!” -trump supporters.
Huh? I’m not a Trump supporter nor a Clinton supporter. What are you going on about?
You’re supporting clinton (because she supports the genocide you live for) and acting like a trump supporter to do it.

On that very particular point she’s not wrong. The collapse of trustworthy news sources and the rise of social media is bad for getting the truth out.
I’d like to get to where we can verify and validate citizen reporting consistently.
Definitely, that’s why I’d be in favour of banning TikTok and requiring all social media platforms to have stronger fact checking mechanism.
Though, the only real solution is to improve the cognitive skills of the population starting when they’re children.
