As someone who has used both TikTok and Instagram I can say 100% this is both information warfare as well as a way for them to remove competition. I'm guessing the gov has been getting pressure from US corpos to ax TikTok, because Insta has less regulations on advertising.
I was listening to useful idiots interview with Simon Schuster about Ukraine and his insight was that the information war had been lost in the Donbass hence the war happened. If only they had controlled the message and convinced those Russia likers that they were wrong. Or something. It is all information war now, perception management, manufacturing consent. If the average Joe really understood how screwed they are getting by the multinational capitalists everyone would be adventure time with a gadget. That is their greatest fear: people knowing the truth
