Factually untrue, the only person who has control of what the algorithm shows you on any social media is the end user. So say8ng that it is used to spread propaganda (which that's super vague), is blatantly false. Pretending otherwise is just being willingly ignorant to how the technology works. Hell, a 6 year old understands how the algorithm works and how to shape it. Plus, US based users have their data stored on US servers hosted by Oracle, China has no access to it. Do two seconds of research and you will see that I'm correct
The research lead me to an opposing conclusion unfortunately. tiktok+viral+heating in your search engine of choice shows results like these.
That's at a very miniscule scale, if you don't want to have something in your feed, just don't interact with it.
