TikTok continues to be a propaganda arm of the United Nations and the World Health Organization: perspective
TikTok and the World Health Organization (WHO) enter a one-year partnership to train influencers and promote regime-approved content concerning public health on the social media platform.
On the 26th of September, 2024, TikTok put out aĀ press releaseĀ on the partnership, saying that it was a way for the social media company āto create reliable content and combat misinformation.ā
āToday, weāre partnering with the World Health Organization (WHO) to create reliable content and combat misinformation through theĀ FidesĀ network, a diverse community of trusted healthcare professionals and content creatorsā

Working with the WHOāsĀ Fides network, TikTok will provide training on how to best disseminate WHO propaganda.
āThrough our collaboration with WHO, we will be engaging Fides creators to translate complex scientific research into relatable and digestible video content, expanding across various health topics.
āTo further equip creators, we will be working closely with WHO to provide access to creator training programs and resources,ā the TikTok press release reads.
The WHOāsĀ FidesĀ network consists of some 800 creators and was launched in 2020 with the purpose of āmobilizing health content creators to counter misinformation and elevate evidence-based content.ā
Today, Fides boasts reaching 150 million users across various platforms.
Another part of the WHO-TikTok partnership is to suppress any information that doesnāt align with the unelected globalist health body.
āPeople are increasingly being targeted with misinformation and malinformation on these digital channels. The new collaboration between WHO and TikTok is to help addressing these challenges by promoting evidence-based content and encourage positive health dialoguesā

The WHO also put out aĀ press releaseĀ on the partnership, explaining how certain influencers would be chosen and targeted to be propagandists for the regime:
āThe collaboration will expand efforts around a number of relevant health topics, translating science-based information into relatable and digestible video content, with more support for influencers provided through TikTokās creator training programs.ā
According to the WHO, the goal of the partnership is to leverageĀ āmultiple digital communication platforms to increase outreach to people globally, to promote health literacy, healthy behaviors and actions in an increasingly digitized world.ā
This isnāt the first time a UN organization has partnered with big tech to deliver its messaging.
āWe own the science, and we think that the world should know it, and the platforms themselves also doā

In September 2022, UN Under-Secretary-General for Global Communications Melissa Fleming told a World Economic Forum (WEF) panel on disinformation that the UN had partnered with TikTok on a project called āTeam Haloā to boost COVID messaging coming from medical and scientific communities.
āAnother really key strategy we had was to deploy influencers,ā she said, adding, āinfluencers who were really keen, who have huge followings, but really keen to help carry messages that were going to serve their communities, and they were much more trusted than the United Nations telling them something from New York City headquarters.ā
āWe had another trusted messenger project, which was called āTeam Haloā where we trained scientists around the world and some doctors on TikTok, and we had TikTok working with us,ā she added.
In the same panel, Fleming declared, āWe own the science, and we think that the world should know it, and the platforms themselves also doā while bragging about how the UN partnered with Google to manipulate search results, so that only UN-approved messaging would appear at the top.
With this partnership, TikTok continues its role as a propaganda arm of the United Nations, of which the WHO is a part.
