TikTok has been sending inaccurate and misleading news-style alerts to users' phones, intensifying fears about misinformation spread on the video-sharing platform.
Alerts falsely framed non-news content as news, such as a tsunami warning weeks after the event, false Taylor Swift claims, and an old baseball prank.
These newsy alerts, often from user-generated posts, may make users less critical of content, leading to misinformation, as algorithms prioritize engagement over accuracy.
