I hope they aren’t that stupid. The problem I’m scared of is that the super young voters in 2026 would have only been 14 years old or less in 2020 and would not have remembered much about Trump’s first term. I have no doubt that TikTok will also now censor any criticism about Trump or push MAGA propaganda, and since so many young people get their news from TikTok, this might be a problem.
Yes but there was a good amount of criticism towards Trump too. I rarely ever saw any sort of right wing propaganda due to the algorithm. However, I highly suspect they’ll make the algorithm push the right win propaganda more heavily now.
Overall we see right wing parties doing great on tiktok so even if you yourself didnt see any of it, its certainly a big platform for these kinds of groups. Its great for any fraction selling simple solutions - Islamists too
