This is the big problem. Kids are trusting search results from a Chinese propaganda platform, and they don't give a shit.

Its the older folks who muddled the walls between editorial and factual reporting, and now thats come home to roost. There are no facts anymore, and very little real journalism anymore. Theres no truth, justice, democracy, or human dignity either. Its not tiktok or youtube who led us where we are, its the double-be-damned boomers and centrists.

This implies TikTok would have some incentive to propagandize their users that Google wouldn’t also have. Google does corporate American propaganda, which many Americans have been acclimated to and thus don’t perceive as propaganda.

You could argue a state has a right to propagandize its own citizens to counter foreign adversarial influence. I'm not saying it does but a state should have its populations best interests in mind compared to a foreign adversary.

States don’t have rights, people have rights.
