TikTok pushed far-right AfD party on young voters in Germany

1. TikTok has great algorithms. The best thing about them is that they are controlled directly by CCP and nobody cares xD

2. Is AfD investigated in any way? Maybe there is a link with foreign entities too no?

3. Exactly this happens all over the west. It should be bigger news.

4. And another repost.

5. TikTok is China and nothing else.

6. If course they do.

   After all the AfD is basically controlled by the CCP.

7. [$Algorithm] pushes [$far right party] on [$voting group] in [$country]

   Here, I’ve just made a generic headline you could publish the world over.

8. TikTok is a tool, just like a hammer or a knife. The problem is that it can be easily abused by certain groups.

9. Is it a surprise. An Europe where everyone is out for himself and undercut each other is easier to deal with than a Europe stand together, divide and conquer.

10. I don’t think people realize at all how much propaganda they’re fed each day. Whether it’s pro-right, pro-Russian, pro-China or anything else. Really, it’s disturbing.

    And often, the underlying narrative is that young voters are targeted and more easily swayed. That is simply not true. While they may be targeted differently, other age groups see just as much propaganda.

11. Any time a streaming or media app suggests or puts right wing content in your feed, close and quit the app.

    Nothing signals in the algorithm more strongly than quitting the app. It will deprioritize the content for you and for that streamer or poster in general.

12. Okay this is worrying, but why is no one worried about the rest of the platforms who are pushing far-left?

13. Lmao all these excuses are hilarious. Suddenly, all problems in Europe is Russia or Chinas fault.. maybe just maybe, people actually want a change? Nah must be TikTok, twitter and every other social media that isn’t censored out the ass lol

14. Wasn’t the smartest move to let those people vote who rely on political information via tiktok…

15. TikTok is cyber warfare designed to destabilize western nations. It should already be banned.

16. Society would be so much better without tiktok in particular.

17. German who recently downloaded tiktok to watch the damn links my gf sends me. There is some vile shit on their. Like straight up making fun of shooting Refugees, Songs about Das Reich etc. it’s mind blowing. it’s like twitter but worse

18. No, it wasn’t TikTok, it was terrorism by a small minority group. (Not Ukrainians, by the way)

19. Are we supposed to surprised?

20. Yes, it’s only TikTok and not the consequences of decades of uncontrolled immigration.

    If we can just ban all social media and strictly control all other media, then we can get back to a real democracy.

21. Left is way worse in that regard and young people are done with the lies never vote the same party for over 16 years they get lazy and dont care , forming networks/corruption

22. Who would have guessed that the social media app with links to the CCP would push political propaganda that would be harmful to the unity of a western society…

23. I am on TikTok and I regularly get anti-Western propaganda, but I was baffled at how much AfD propaganda I got.
