It's a troubling vulnerability considering the volume of short-form videos flooding every major platform, with huge players like Meta-owned Facebook and Instagram and Google's YouTube embracing the format as a means to compete with rapidly growing TikTok.After CNET asked TikTok about the above-mentioned video and other examples, the platform pulled them down for violating TikTok's rules against harmful misinformation."People are going to be misled in many different ways, and sometimes those don't have to be complex tactics," said Jack Brewster, a senior analyst at NewsGuard, a tool that rates the credibility of news sources.Meta does label videos debunked by fact-checkers and Twitter has a fact-checking project called Birdwatch, where users will leave notes on misleading or false tweets.This can be especially true on TikTok, where users often riff off of one another by reusing and remixing each other's audio and video."
