It definitely matters. There's a huge difference between promoting nazis and writing an algorithm that's gamed by nazis.
This headline is designed to mislead people by erasing that difference. And the motives of people who have been attacking tiktok are generally trash.
But being so big and influential as these platforms are, they should not have the option of "oops, sorry, didn't think about that". (I am aware I'm being idealistic)
