I'm not sure the design of these platforms exposes one to researchers, but the absense of a better method doesn't reinforce conclusions based on a defective
method.

Not expecting tik tok to be a representation of the Gen Z population and to expect the normal should be a 50/50 distribution in addition to think that the groups are mutual exclusive. i.e if you have posted content that "suppport" either side that means you do not support the opposite. Its perfectly fine to be horrified both of civilians killed in a terrorist attack and civilians being bombed.
Judging this by the method used (counts of uses of top 5 hashtags associated with the conflict) is ludicrously bad as a methodology, because, aside from not looking at sentiment, its prone to being radically wrong if one side is more consistent in hashtag use than the other.
