> Ok, TikTok has the illusion of being content-neutral and just a fair algorithm

Does it? And what does that even mean? Are there any other "content-neutral" and "fair" algorithms that you're aware of at other social media companies?

> we have no reason to believe it is unbiased.

Not only is that not how argument works, it's a bizarre bar that only tiktok has to leap to do business. We have every reason to believe that any and all commercial algorithms for selecting and prioritizing content to display to users are not "content-neutral," nor "fair" for every possible definition of fair.

of course they are all biased. The question is who's biases are represented.

Probably Proctor & Gamble's, Ford's, and similar.

I think those are honestly much lower on the list beyond the values and biases of the owners and employees.
