🚨 Out now OA in @SocialMedia, the first ever paper on algospeak on TikTok. We interviewed users on how they use algospeak to contest and evade algorithmic content moderation of benign yet tabooed subjects in their videos ➡️🆓

#ICA23 & TikTok lovers, the time has come for the annual program 💫⭐️🤩 I collected all papers listed under "TikTok" - pls share & use! Fascinating to see the shift of research orbit over the year, mirroring the platform's transformations & ramifications⬇️ https://t.co/tuSK7kpQmE

BBC just emailed all staff about use of TikTok:

If “you do not need TikTok for business reasons, TikTok should be deleted from BBC corporate mobile devices”

BBC says it’s reviewing whether to ban TikTok on all corporate devices

TikTok’s new feature for algo calibration promises users better control over their rabbit holes; I wonder (1) will *computational agency* help users keep their curatorial power over the fyp? (2) will it enable creators to bridge visibility thresholds? 👀 https://t.co/IuJAI4L3EM

I spoke to @saraashleyo at @cnni about how #TikTok videos of the Johnny Depp/Amber Heard trial (re-)create realities of it

[Daniel Klug @dnlklg]

Excited to attend #ica22 and talk about how young people socialized on #TikTok by sharing videos of lived #COVID19 experiences during the first lockdown @MINTLabCMU

TikTok is turning Johnny Depp's trail into a meme performance; Happy to reflect in @TIME on TikTok’s playful regime manifested in user’s rush to memetic participation motivated by algorithmic amplification, while weaponizing humor for visual hijack of mainstream media narratives.

[Daniel Klug @dnlklg]

I talked to @kait_tiffany at @TheAtlantic about the #TikTok algorithm. Read it here: https://t.co/m4Kh1eEJCI
