TikTok advertising will force the acceptance of personalized ads from April 15
Instagram competition continues its dirty war against TikTok
The
account
recommendation algorithm of
the social network
TikTok
favors the appearance of
content
and information related to
far-right accounts
in the United States, including organizations related to the
insurrection in the Capitol
on January 6.
Content from
far-right
organizations
Three Percenter, QAnon, Patriot Party
and
Oath Keeper
is being
favored
by the TikTok algorithm, according to research by media research organization Media Matters for America.
Some of them include
other movements that participated in the assault on the Capitol
on January 6 in Washington DC
The content of these four organizations is
prohibited by TikTok
.
However, research carried out in the United States has found that
if a user follows the recommendations
of network accounts, he
finally finds one of these organizations
and that, if he decides to follow any of them, this will lead him to receive suggestions for following the rest of extreme right accounts.
Thus, the organization has found
six frequent patterns
through which TikTok leads to displaying content and offering monitoring of one or more of the accounts.
That this happens
"does not even require a search for them
,
"
says media Matters for America.
The appearance process begins with the
'For you'
tab
, where the social network shows content recommended for the user based on its algorithm, based on the accounts that it follows and the content previously viewed.
There
appears content from one or more of the organizations
that, if the user decides to follow, will lead to the
recommendation of the following
.
The conclusion of the investigation is that
"users can easily be exposed to accounts and content of far-right extremists"
and receive more and more content from them.
