HOW CHINA USED TIKTOK TO HELP DEMOCRATS IN THE MIDTERMS
TikTok accounts secretly run by the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) pushed anti-Republican and pro-Democrat messages during the lead-up to the 2022 midterm elections, an investigation by Forbes has discovered.
The details: An investigative report by Forbes found several TikTok accounts covering news and politics that racked up tens of millions of views without disclosing their affiliation with the CCP.
Back up: TikTok is owned by China, but has claimed that its US-based operations remain independent and do not share data with the CCP [major eye roll].
How it works: The Forbes investigation that many of these CCP-run TikTok accounts are managed by MediaLinks TV – which is registered with the U.S. Treasury as a foreign agent for China.
The biggest political account run by MediaLinks TV is @NewsTokks – a plate that gets millions of views per month.
Here are some of their headlines:
“Cruz, Abbott Don’t Care About Us”
Senator Marco Rubio has “Done Absolutely Nothing”
“Democrats are getting it done”
Too little too late: TikTok announced it plans to introduce a policy next year that will label foreign state-controlled accounts.
