"We believe that the AfD's success on TikTok very likely contributed to the AfD's electoral success," said Roland Verwiebe, highlighting the platform's influence on young voters.
"Half of all 16-24 year olds only get their political information from TikTok; that makes the platform extraordinarily influential," noted sociologist Roland Verwiebe about TikTok's role.
In the elections, the AfD secured more than double the votes of the three parties in Chancellor Olaf Scholz's coalition, reflecting their significant popularity.
Researchers found that users were shown nine AfD videos per week, vastly outnumbering content from other parties, indicating AfD's dominance in user feeds.
