where do you get your news from and is tiktok a reliable news source?

No news, totally pointless to see or hear them

youtube. I don't normally go searching for news unless i find out about something crazy that happened. but i use YouTube a lot and news just pops up on there sometimes

There's a reason why the US gov wants TikTok banned.

Because it competes with the US spying on its own citizens?

"Faster" definitely does not always equal "more accurate." A social media platform can only ever be as reliable as its content creators.

TikTok can be a reliable news source, as it can be raw documentation of events. I would say, yes, 100% it can be if no other reporters are there to tell you about it and it's more reliable of a new source in that scenario than some western propaganda news filter.
