Summary
A new study from Rutgers University’s Network Contagion Research Institute claims TikTok’s algorithm limits anti-Chinese Communist Party (CCP) content compared to platforms like Instagram and YouTube, despite higher user engagement with such posts.
The study also suggests TikTok users express more favorable views of China after prolonged use.
TikTok criticized the findings as flawed due to the use of simulated accounts.
The study precedes a Supreme Court hearing on whether the U.S. can ban TikTok, amid national security concerns tied to its Chinese ownership and potential CCP influence.
There is minimal content I see that is at all related to China. The fact of the matter is the government wants to keep the public stupid and under informed. Tik tok is a great way to get information out and they hate it. Yes it is dangerous but no one cares about X or Facebook. They are far worse imo.
Yeah with how much X and Facebook have just been mouthpieces of Russian disinformation it’s funny how much focus is being placed on tiktok
Tiktok isn’t the right misinformation
Its more than the CCP related content that helps China
