A report by the Network Contagion Research Institute (NCRI) at Rutgers University says topics important to the Chinese government are given added or less weight depending on them being favorable.
In its conclusion in the report released this month, the NCRI said: “Whether content is promoted or muted on TikTok appears to depend on whether it is aligned or opposed to the interests of the Chinese Government.”
The full report from NCRI and Rutgers is a chilling read. TikTok is also suppressing Pro-Ukraine, Uyghur, Tibet, and Hong Kong videos, while magnifying topics like “Free Kashmir” that are harmful to their regional rival India.
What do people expected from a china state own massive surveillance and propaganda app?
I really wish people would stop calling China “communist.” They aren’t.
It’s the name of the ruling party. Lots of political groups have misleading names.
I wish china would stop claiming ownership of large swaths of the ocean. They won’t.
Well, did they put a flag on it?
They sure as shit tried too, i.e. sending a fleet to harass Filipino fishermen
