The AfD was twice as effective at reaching first-time voters on the app than all other parties combined, according to an analysis of platform data. This may explain why the party performed so well among young voters.

    Many first timers on Tiktok report that the first thing they see is this nazi crap right after registration. This is not normal.

      Cold start is a hard problem for recommendations. It probably shows what’s popular in the nearby locations and/or matching demographics. Why’s it not normal?

        Because in most countries including Germany social networks filter these kinds of posts and try to fight against misinformation, racism, etc.

        Tiktok can be used as a weapon. It can stir up communities and manipulate views. My impression is that it is done on purpose and it’s been instructed by the Chinese government.

        I don’t have a proof but in American politics you can see tendencies against Tiktok. They are aware of these subtle issues.

          that would basically mean that there is only nazi content on tik tok. OR they use your data footprint to how you what they want you to see.

          every media is being used by various parties to influence you.

          you don’t need china for that.

            I have no problem with parties and companies influencing me. I have a problem with parties and companies that openly violate the constitution.
