Ahead of the #RussiaProtests of yesterday many were amazed by the overwhelming amount of political content on Russian #Tiktok. I’ve been gathering some data on this (saw some people were interested @oonuch @Marielle_W_ ), sharing some (very prelim) highlights in the thread
Please read and interpret with caution: 1) the analysis is prelim (I will do more and hope to share some more insights at this virtual event on Feb 1 harriman.columbia.edu/virtual-event-… organized by @HarrimanInst)
2) the data is gathered from TikTok’s unofficial (!) API, and I most certainly don’t have all the tiktoks posted (though hopefully a high enough share, most popular ones seem to be in. but what’s lacking is unclear - it’s an algorithmic black box).
