Considering that nazi content has been otherwise decently moderated on the other major vertical video platforms, I expect that we're going to see a new wave of youth propaganda since no such moderation exists on Twitter. There've been attempts by the right to get into TikTok, but you can only say so much hateful shit before they actually ban you so they've had to keep a semblance of civility there, so it's a little scary to think of what'll happen when that sort of content goes unchallenged on a major social platform now that they can say the quiet parts out loud.
Maybe it varies by country, but I've seen no shortage of far-right content on TikTok.
I mean shit, look at the Romanian elections - TikTok was aggressively pushing a right wing, pro-Russia candidate who declared that he spent 0 on campaign finances.
I go on there and there's a lot of ReformUK (Nigel Farage's party) and GB News (British Fox News though thankfully far less watched) clips.
I have a French friend and he says the same is true there.
They basically endorsed Trump with their latest stunt. Pretty sure they're shouting the "quiet part" right now.
What?
You do realise the far right is explicitly using tiktok and has been extremely successful there. They have awful nazi shit on it. Just the algorithm doesn’t shove it in your face if you’re a leftist à la Musk.
