National Security Council staffers and White House press
secretary Jen Psaki gathered 30 TikTok stars
via Zoom Thursday, March 10th for a briefing on the war between Russia and Ukraine.
Since Russia invaded Ukraine late last month, TikTok became
an unlikely source of real-time information for millions around the world.
While the app has proven to be a useful tool for reporters, its algorithm has
also harbored dangerous misinformation and Russian propaganda. **
Psaki led the briefing alongside Matt Miller, a special adviser
for communications at the White House National Security Council. In a recording
obtained by The Washington Post, Biden officials emphasized the
influence these creators have in online discussions surrounding the crisis. “We
recognize this is a critically important avenue in the way the American public
is finding out about the latest,” said White House director of digital strategy
Rob Flaherty. “So we wanted to make sure you had the latest information from an
authoritative source.”

good real reporter would have attribution.
The thought of the DC freak show using a Chinese intelligence tool (TikTok) demonstrates conclusively our utter doom. There's not a serious adult in this administration.
