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.
