The documentary, by broadcaster TV4's Kalla Fakta programme, identified 23 anonymous social media accounts controlled by the Sweden Democrats' communications team. Those included 13 accounts on Chinese-owned video hosting app TikTok, which have all been shut down, the platform confirmed to Swedish news agency TT on Monday.
In the Kalla Fakta documentary, a reporter went undercover within the Sweden Democrats' communications department. They revealed a number of things, including attempts at smear campaigns on politicians from other parties. It also revealed a total of 23 different anonymous accounts spread across TikTok, YouTube, Instagram and Facebook, which are all run by the Sweden Democrats and also spread, for example, radical anti-immigration views.
These accounts have a combined 260,000 followers and published roughly 1,000 posts in the first three months of the year, which were viewed over 27 million times.
