Despite no interaction or indication of interest, the platform presented the fake account 'Alice' videos with Nazi content after 75 minutes of scrolling
i24News reports that new TikTok users - without seeking it out - see Nazi content after 75 minutes, according to the committee investigating the January 6, 2021, attack on the U.S. Capitol.
The report, published Thursday in Rolling Stone, was made using a fake account - Alice, a fictional 41-year-old from Massachusetts.
According to the committee staff, this was "just one of the Committee’s experiments that further evidenced the power of TikTok’s recommendation algorithm in creating rabbit holes toward potentially harmful content.”
