Summary
A study found that TikTok’s recommendation algorithm favored Republican-leaning content during the 2024 U.S. presidential race.
TikTok, with over a billion active users worldwide, has become a key source of news, particularly for younger audiences.
Using 323 simulated accounts, researchers discovered that Republican-leaning users received 11.8% more aligned content than Democratic-leaning users, who were exposed to more opposing viewpoints.
The bias was largely driven by negative partisanship, with more anti-Democratic content recommended.
TikTok being owned by the CCP and used for their political interests means they absolutely would do everything in their power to weaken the USA and NATO.
I mean, there’s also that the Democrats ran a campaign to ban Tiktok.
Biden promised not to enforce the ban, the ban was bipartisan, you’re being lied to.
It was not only bipartisan, it was, in fact, Trump’s idea initially.
And yet, the Democrats did run the campaign, and Biden was the one to actually sign the ban.
