    “The perceived preferences” as opposed to “the preferences” I think is an important choice of words for the article.

      Well I think the question they are asking is why some content is promoted or demoted, not a question of whether it is happening according to the article.

        I think it’s less about asking a question than it is pushing a narrative. Now, I’m not claiming that it’s a false narrative, but we should at least be able to admit when something is probably propaganda.

          Yeah. But they are saying the data is demonstrating that for non controversial hash tags, there is a lot of similarity between Tik tok and Instagram. But when it comes to hash tags that are controversial from a CCP POV, there is a strange disparity between hash tag prevalence. So it appears that this is due to intervention from the tik tok platform. But the data can’t definitively say who is responsible for this censorship of hash tags or conversations on CCP controversial subjects.
