Videos critiquing or portraying China's human rights abuses are scarcer on TikTok compared to platforms like Instagram and YouTube, implying a potential distortion of China's history in user searches.
TikTok's algorithm exhibits more positive, neutral, or irrelevant content related to China's human rights issues, hindering access to accurate information, according to the Network Contagion Research Institute.
People spending extensive time on TikTok tend to hold a more positive view of China's human rights record, as per the study, highlighting a potential influence of social media usage on perceptions.
TikTok countered the study's findings, attributing the discrepancy to the experimental setup, timing of past events, platform age, and dismissing the experiment as biased towards a preconceived outcome.
