The MAGA billionaires taking over TikTok
TikTok is the most influential media platform for Australians under the age of 25. It’s where millions now get their news – whether they realise it or not.
But the app is no longer just a cultural force. It’s now at the centre of a global power struggle between China and Trump’s America over who gets to control the algorithm.
