You don't know WTF your TikTok algorithm does, how it is designed, or why.
As it pertains to viewing, it's pretty evident what it does on that front. It shows me content based on my viewing habits and occasionally throws different/new content in to see if you're interested. If you are, it'll adjust the content thrown your way. If you aren't it keeps similar content away from your feed.
Anyone who uses the app on a regular basis understands this.
Everyone else who says it's brainwashing tool that only shows leftist/marxist/socialist/etc... propaganda either has never used the app or is being willfully ignorant because there is individual user created content coming from every inch of the political spectrum on the app.
Which is again, is ironic has hell considering how one sided "American owned" social media platforms are in favor of one political ideology.
Based on my consuming of most social media platforms, TikTok has offered the most wide array of content from all walks of life/politics/opinion versus its competitors and it's not particularly close.

There is a reason TikTok is banned in China. There is a reason the alternate version run in China is not offered as a TikTok alternative in the rest of the world.

Anti-1A Politburo Bill:
SELECTIVELY RESTRICTS and CENSORS:
-- Open & free ideas AND information
-- Politburo, Diddler and Shadow Overlord "tricks-of-the-trade", ongoing charades, smoke & mirrors
-- Especially frickery that can be exposed

Curious, have you used TikTok and if not, how exactly do you think it works?
Yes and it pushes certain content on purpose to give a false narrative about America etc. It's literally brainwashing in a sense. Social Media has done more harm to America than literally anything else, over the last 2 decades.

This is a completely random section from the definitions page. This is the actual law: _______________________________________________________
It shall be unlawful for an entity to distribute, maintain, or update (or enable the distribution, maintenance, or updating of) a foreign adversary controlled application by carrying out, within the land or maritime borders of the United States, any of the following:
(A) Providing services to distribute, maintain, or update such foreign adversary controlled application (including any source code of such application) by means of a marketplace (including an online mobile application store) through which users within the land or maritime borders of the United States may access, maintain, or update such application.
(B) Providing internet hosting services to enable the distribution, maintenance, or updating of such foreign adversary controlled application for users within the land or maritime borders of the United States.
Specifically calling out...
(f) RULE OF CONSTRUCTION.—Nothing in this Act may be construed
(1) to authorize the Attorney General to pursue
enforcement, under this section, other than enforcement of subsection (a) or (b) (relating to foreign advesary controlled media)
(2) to authorize the Attorney General to pursue enforcement, under this section, against an individual user of a foreign adversary controlled application; or
(3) except as expressly provided herein, to alter
or affect any other authority provided by or established under another provision of Federal law.

I didn't get this Trojan horse memo. Crazy how all these people all of a sudden started using the same term. Marching orders
seems pretty simple to me.

Spot on.
Sure, it's potentially a dangerous too, frequented by ideologues across the political spectrum (as you alluded to) and laden with spyware -- just like the rest of the platforms; The "problem" as the hypocrites who pretend they rep "The People" and USCON:
7ic-7oc is so open and free that it is a threat to any shadow entities who need to quash ANY and ALL free flows of info.

OTOH, Marxism is popular on both platforms.

So do you know what a Trojan Horse is?
Have you read the bill and does it have trojan horse traits?
Im trying trying to figure out why you are shocked about a well know term with a solid definition...
Id be ok if you were freaking the frick out about a term like "Top of mind".

I never said there’s no consequences of freedom just ensuring they don’t take anymore. Idgaf about tiktok, this is a bad bill.

Im not shocked.
I just noticed the trojan horse theme too.
And im saying if Musk tweeted that, its prob why and how it picked up steam to everyone calling it that.
I think more people know musk vs massie.
Your post made it seem like it was only said on here. I was saying, no its all over the media and internet.
And the other guy was saying, i didnt get the memo.
It makes since, your rambling made zero sense.

Yep.
People with short memories already forget those who were deplatformed and shunned from social media not long ago.
Isn’t a much bigger step to completely shut a site down.
