But a BBC project to investigate the content promoted by social media algorithms has found - alongside funny montages - young people on TikTok are being exposed to misleading and divisive content.

I'm not gonna say that TikTok isn't worse than the average here, but that seems like a kind of unrealistic bar. Find me social media that doesn't do this.

I could see some kind of quantitative statement here being meaningful. Like, say they fact-checked content that N people saw, and had some kind of metric for divisiveness. You could maybe compare TikTok to Twitter or Reddit or Facebook or whatever. But you aren't gonna get a "zero" for your metric on the other social media networks.

In fact, I'd go even further and say that most major traditional, not even social media, has a fair bit of misleading and divisive content.
