11/ TikTok uses algorithms that amplify sensationalism. Zuckerberg is now fully dancing to Trumps tune.
If you engage with one far right/ conspiratorial post, it serves more extreme versions until you’re knee deep.
That’s how radicalisation occurs without the user even realising.

Falling for the rhetoric of Reform, MAGA or Robinson isn’t protest or rebellion and it’s NOT an anti establishment alternative.

I've planned our wedding to fall on the day of the Oasis concert, knowing that some family members, that we don't want at the wedding, have got tickets. So, they'll be invited, but they'll have to decline and they'll be frowned on, as they're missing a wedding for Oasis
