Simple, promote divisive content that sows discord with your rival society.

We saw Russia taking advantage of this with Facebook groups. The threat model exists. https://www.washingtonpost.com/opinions/global-opinions/if-r...

Pushing divisive content is what social media does, regardless of owner. But I gotta be honest, the reason I use tiktok is that is does not do this. When I see content I dont like, I skip past it or even mark it as not interested. The algorithm adjusts. If it didnt, tiktok would not be as popular. It is a very happy place to be compared to any other social media app out there.
