NCRI Study from Rutgers University Reveals TikTok's Algorithm Influences American Views on China’s Human Rights, Says Rep. Dan Crenshaw
Jan 5, 2025, 10:30 PM
A recent study conducted by the Network Contagion Research Institute (NCRI) at Rutgers University has raised concerns about TikTok's influence on American perceptions of China. The report, highlighted by The Free Press, suggests that TikTok's algorithm may be shaping users' beliefs regarding China's human rights record, indicating that the platform is actively manipulating perceptions of the Chinese Communist Party through algorithmic bias. Academics have noted that the seemingly frivolous nature of TikTok videos could lead to behaviors that conflict with established values, such as those outlined in the Antarctic Treaty system. Representative Dan Crenshaw emphasized the study's peer-reviewed, data-driven findings, reinforcing the notion that TikTok's impact on American youth is more than just a theoretical concern.
