I mean it already is the biggest superspreader of far right content in Europe and I would assume in the US as well. But please don‘t come with anecdotes about your TikTok experience because it‘s the most personalized content platform so it‘s irrelevant what your feed looks like right now. I‘m saying this because often times at least one TikTok user will rush in to defend the platform with their personal experience whenever this is brought up.
The political part of my feed is pretty much hard left wing - but when I open the comments the top responders are the most right wing PoS’s I’ve ever seen. Which is so stupid because they’ll have max 200 thumbs up while a rational left wing respons will ratio them out of the water
Yeah I always ignore them because I always assume it’s either a bit farm or the algorithm pushing the comments, both of which I wanna discourage, so I don’t interact with them.
the thing is the gop could not control the messaging of tiktok, since it was owned by the CCP, so it was producing content against right wingers, they cant have that. its going to be like how youtube shoves youtube AI slop/right wing every chance they get.
It’s used to divide but I think it leans the opposite way in north America. The GOP wouldn’t have such a hate boner for it if it was pushing the same bullshit they are.
Hard to remember but I think a lot of pro Palestinian vids were on tiktok while the other social media sites were suppressing it when it all started. I only heard of this, I don’t have an account.

thats astroturfing, the troll farms have thousands of bots that can do that at once.

It’s leaning in Europe is well known though.
