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.
Huh? That didnt work…
Now that should do it.
Let’s just ban corporate-controlled social media.
If by “Socialist” you mean the Chinese government then both are true. The CCP backed the Trump campaign from start to finish. Weakening the USA and NATO is a dream come true to them.
Even the Tankie communities here on Lemmy were praising Trump and trashing Biden and the DNC.
You just need to keep screaming “China! China! China! They hacked our elections! We have to stop China!” and either you’ll get something banned eventually.
