Eating For Free TikTok-ing Through the Apocalypse (Part 3)
In part three of our TikTok installment, we round-out out our coverage of the new global phenomenon taking over social media. We talk about the new censorship against users dissenting against China, those not deemed worthy of the algorithm's promotion, the way their app directs data to 3rd party companies, and the recent class-action settlement with the United States Federal Trade Commission.
Eating For Free is a bi-weekly gossip podcast reporting from the edge of the internet! We're a new wave of celebrity reporters at a time when pop culture is increasingly chaotic and media lacks the ability or moral direction to make sense of this capitalist nightmare!
