Thanks for the breakdown from across the pond.

Good analogy

I have the other perspective where I think that highly rated resellers have an incentive to share SMART results and ship good product. Perhaps its eBay centric, it has been my experience for used and refurbished electronics. If it's any consolation, your perspective is likely what keeps the cost low for these sellers.

GIGO?

It reminds me of the same whatabout-isms that downplayed TikTok as a threat becauae US companies are a threat. I chalk it up to a lack of imagination ironically

I used to be a Google News junkie, but I stopped using their products. Now, I have a more streamlined view via these two: https://www.newsminimalist.com/ https://www.boringreport.org/app

There are bots in the fediverse just like everywhere else.

I think the issue is that TiKtok is just as bad as all the other social media and they are owned by a foreign adversary.

Foreign adversaries (ie China, Russia and America) use social media for influence campaigns on each other and therefore their social media platforms can't be trusted. This is why Chinese people similarly can't use Google or Facebook

And the PRC have been caught repeatedly running influence campaigns over social media platforms: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Spamouflage
