A study found that TikTok’s recommendation algorithm favored Republican-leaning content during the 2024 U.S. presidential race.
TikTok, with over a billion active users worldwide, has become a key source of news, particularly for younger audiences.

The bias was largely driven by negative partisanship, with more anti-Democratic content recommended.

Even the Tankie communities here on Lemmy were praising Trump and trashing Biden and the DNC.
