Not personally, but it's from a media org I trust, and they generally do a good job citing sources.

If the BBC got caught lying, it would be big news. If a random influencer got caught lying, people would shrug and say, "that tracks."

So how is it different if someone sees a news story from BBC's TikTok account? https://www.tiktok.com/@bbcnews

That's not at all what I'm talking about. I also don't use TikTok, so I don't know how their reporting differs there vs other media.
