The app owners have already banned paid political advertisements throughout the site and any videos identified as such will be restricted and revised or removed. Normal or "organic" users of the app are able to post videos about the election or anything politically related as long as they follow the community guidelines. This means that "organic" users cannot spread information that condones violence, harassment of election workers, misinformation about where to vote, etc. There will also be an election center created in order to spread correct and non-biased information about said elections to keep those who want to know, updated. 

This information is important to mass media consumers as they are able to use social media platforms like TikTok knowing that there is not any false information being spread throughout the app. Especially from people who pay to have this propaganda spread around. They are able to rest knowing that the app managers are doing their best to provide them with clean information that is updated and correct; information created without bias. Consumers will also know that those who attempt to spread misinformation based on the elections will be stopped quickly and efficiently, whether they pay to have the information spread or not. Consumers will be able to benefit from this as they will be able to trust the app knowing that they are doing the best they can to stop wrong information from being spread. Consumers will also benefit as they will be able to have a place where they find information for the elections that have been fact-checked and correct. Where they are able to check dates, and candidates, and find some general information. Consumers will not be harmed in this process as all information and procedures are made to keep them safe and well informed, as they deserve to be
