It’s really only a problem if you’re getting your news from tik tok rather than a legitimate news source.
people really shouldn’t be getting their news solely from social media of any kind.
I do agree in that using TikTok as a primary source for news seems real sketch(and probably a bad idea);
however in this situation since TikTok is being used as an effective tool by WGA strikers to raise awareness of the situation at large, it’s somewhat closer to Lemmy’s structure in being a federated/collaborative system where you’re more likely to get direct updates/coverage of the strike from WGA members, individual writers, and then reporters that are independant or corporation based. So quite a smorgasbord of coverage across a wide spectrum.
Plus aren’t there times when even primary news sources gets things wrong accidentally/unintentionally?
There are definitely more trustworthy news sources than TikTok or Fox news but it doesn’t make other media companies/news sources infalliable to accidental errors or plain misinformation/sensationalization for clicks(money)(everyone’s seen the trashfire called clickbait).
I don’t really agree with the blanket statement that all SNS can’t be trusted as the quality of information changes based on what platform you’re using.
eg: Reddit(Spez why did you ruin it all) vs Lemmy(probably better - speaking from bias).

btw I hope this comes across as me disagreeing with your statement and not you as a person
