What they do

How it works
Its algorithm identifies a user's psychological vulnerabilities in under two hours and amplifies political echo chambers and social division in Western audiences, while the separate Douyin algorithm insulates the domestic Chinese population.
Why it matters
The engine reads it as an optimized digital pathogen designed to accelerate social decay in rival nations while protecting the home population — a one-way weapon.
