How TikTok Launching a New STEM Feed is Fueling Viral Political Conspiracy Theory
TikTok, a popular social media platform, recently launched a new feature called the STEM feed. This feature highlights content focused on science, technology, engineering, and math.
The STEM feed was announced on March 14, also known as Pi Day, a fitting rollout for this educational feature. The content that appears on the feed is likely pulled from TikToks that feature a STEM-related hashtag like #STEM, #engineer, #chemistry, and #tech. To ensure the feed doesn’t become populated with misinformation, TikTok has partnered with Common Sense Networks and Poynter to assess the validity of each video.
The TikTok STEM Feed Conspiracy Theory
Now, let’s consider the conspiracy theory. It’s important to note that conspiracy theories often lack substantial evidence. However, it’s not uncommon for companies to launch new initiatives or features during times of legal or public relations challenges. The theory suggests that TikTok launched the STEM feed to increase their public support amidst an ongoing court case with the US Government.
The US Government has expressed concerns that TikTok’s Chinese-based ownership could be forced to share the app’s user data with the Chinese government. In response to these concerns, there have been efforts to ban TikTok from app stores in the United States. TikTok has challenged these efforts in court, arguing that such a ban would violate constitutional protections.
The launch of the new STEM feed could be seen as a strategic move by TikTok to demonstrate its value as an educational platform and to garner public support. By highlighting educational content, TikTok may be aiming to shift the narrative away from the data privacy concerns and towards the positive impact it can have on its users, particularly young people interested in STEM fields.
As aforementioned the theory is purely speculative, but could TikTok’s decision to launch the STEM feed really be driven by a genuine desire to promote educational content and engage young people in STEM? As the court case unfolds, we may gain more insight into this situation.
