A study shows pro-Trump creators are a lot more active on TikTok than Democrat supporters, writes stokel

calling TikTok a Chinese state plot and has threatened to ban the app from the United States – but President Trump may well be cutting off the rare platform that supports him.

"On Twitter one would suspect there were more left-leaning users and more of the right-leaning ones have migrated to Gab and other platforms," says Juan Carlos Medina Serrano, one of the authors of the paper. "But on TikTok there were a lot of Trump-supporting videos." The sample size of videos is relatively small — 7,825 videos in all — demonstrating the relatively small scale of political discourse on the app before the presidential campaign truly took off. Videos were gathered by searching for #republican and #democrat, and finding associated duets of the videos.

"TikTok users are like generation Z pundits," says Serrano. "They want to discuss political topics because they know it goes viral – and Trump himself is viral gold.""By outright banning TikTok, Trump would be cutting off what would appear to a politically active platform for the conservative movement," says Steven Buckley, associate lecturer at the University of the West of England.

stokel A “study”

stokel Only because Biden generates drooling not excited. Tell the truth. Is Biden even alive?

stokel What is with using the “Democrat” epithet in this tweet? The correct usage is “Democratic” - , you should be ashamed for that usage.

BIUK stokel Has anyone coined Tik Tok Tax

SAI stokel The study ends in Feb. 2000, before Covid-19 and BLM, which pretty much renders it outdated.

stokel That's ironic and explains a lot. At the same time, what is the role of Microsoft in this acquisition?

Launched in 2007, the site is now the largest business news site on the web. Sounds like a dangerous precedent that could later go on to affect American companies. I agree with China, it's a shakedown. Trump threatened to kill TikTok, now that they will be spared he wants his protection money He needs to worry about the economy and the unemployed. That should be his number one concern during this pandemic....... not TikTok....... unreal.
