Reviews

4.2 out of 5 stars from 6 ratings
  • Tik Tok discussion

    This sounds like ultra right wing conspiracy theory. The arguments may or may not be valid, but you did not explain why the Chinese government is worse than Musk or Zuckerberg. Also, Tik Tok has done an amazing job keeping people informed about Gaza whereas American platforms have been removing important information.

    I’m very disappointed with MIGS and it has lost a lot of credibility in my eyes because of this episode.
