Tiktok is also a vector for propaganda. There is not guarantee that all content there is true.

True content can also be propaganda for instance via the glorification of a particular lifestyle and its second order effects (implicitly elevated social capital).

Sure it is true like other SNSs, like Musk's X, are so too. Some particular people call it the "Free Speech".

Although I'm not very interested in the US politics, it looks to me that these 2 are politicians rather than platforms. Could you find other trees where your propaganda seems more plausible in context, please.

Sure you are, that's why you're whinging about X for free speech reasons.

Will you be honest?

For what it’s worth, propagandaness (is that a word?) of content has very little to do with how factual it is.
