Some ways to avoid sharing misinformation: Look for comments that call out a video’s deception. See if the audio matches the video, and always be skeptical of what you’re sharing. Always be thinking if what you’re seeing makes sense. — PolitiTweet.org

TikTok has rolled out a "digital literacy hub" on the app. The company already makes certain categories of content ineligible for recommendation on "For You" feeds. Our partners @mediawise are featured on the hub! https://t.co/DFk4tQTd08 — PolitiTweet.org

Experts also believe the platform’s algorithm weighs watchtime, so the more time a person spends re-watching a video to determine if it’s true, the more that person is signaling an interest in seeing similar content. — PolitiTweet.org

TikTok makes it easy to reuse audio from other videos, so if a song is trending everyone can use it in their content. But the feature also allows users to dub audio of wartime sounds over videos that falsely claim to show the conflict in Ukraine. — PolitiTweet.org
