Hey, time for some TikTok search tips! (1/...)

Geolocation:
tiktok.com/discover/(loca…

So for Kyev tiktok.com/discover/kyev
TikTok Tip Ywo! Research TikTok not via TikTok search, but via Google. Beat the algorithm of TikTok by searching for your own keywords but EXCLUDE discover and #hashtags. See below: (2/...)
You cannot view a large version of the profile picture on the web version or the app. A quick and dirty way to do it is to copy the whole source text and run it through CyberChef and bake it with the "Extract URLs" recipe. Full manual: medium.com/@BTF117/tiktok… (3/..)
Live searching a baby? Go tiktok.com/live and type baby. A timestamp will be added: tiktok.com/search?q=baby&… Unix timestamp. So here is an idea how to search for video's on timestamp, who helps :) (4/...)
Last tip: how do you get TikTok data on your harddisk? Check github.com/drawrowfly/tik…

The next 10 tweets or so will help you to understand how you can find out exactly why the following photo was taken during flight AF1141, Amsterdam-Paris, yesterday, landing 19.56 at Paris (1/10)
According to the first photo, it was taken at 19:35 on Wednesday, April 6, 2022. I tweeted it at 19:39 on April 6, 2022. The photo must be four minutes old. Due to the white light, it's possible that I am still in the air. How did I send the photo? (2/2)
Was it over WiFi? Did it use 4G/5G? I posted a second photo to make you think it was WiFi: . A WiFi sign can be seen. It wasn't used by me. I used 4G instead. This was not a clue, but a stray track. (3/10)

As a @TwitterBlue user I will be able to edit my tweets, afterwards, as an experiment. But @TwitterBlue please include the option to read the original tweet for those who want that, like Facebook does . Otherwise edits will kill transparency .
Why is this important ? Check out theverge.com/2022/4/5/23011…

The next tweets are about the claim of the Russian embassy that this refugee saw how the Azov nationalist battalion while retreating, blew up the city drama theatre.
First, I upscaled the original video to the best possible quality, better than @russianembassy posted :
Then I sharpened her face and did the first run in face recognition compare tool via Azure, using the face some people think it is (a Russian activist, see fivethirtyeight.com/features/the-u…) It's unlikely it's her. Next tweet: who is she then?
