I love how they demonstrated they aren't influencing people by sending out a mass message telling people what to do. It doesn't get any more comical than that.

Malign influence. Telling people to participate in democracy isn't a bad thing.

Yes but telling an army of thirteen year olds doing dance videos to call representatives is worthless, if anything it hurts TikToks argument since it proves they’re doing the influencing of Americans that the government wants them not doing

You missed the entire point. They declared 1) We are not doing anything of that sort, then: 2) they did exactly things of that sort. It's like a slap stick comedy show.
