It's probably a bit more nuanced then that. You have to look at the people that use Tiktok... are they generally more left or right? I don't know the answer. I would have said they are younger and therefore more left leaning, however, I think that's becoming less and less true.

Good point, but the article does say

> "ideological imbalance occurs regardless of a user’s initial political interests"

But yeah, even in the absence of any kind of algorithmic bias, I'd still expect there to be an imbalance for the reason that you point out.

If it were the other way around people would be accusing the CCP of trying to rig the election for the Democrats, but sure. When it helps the Republicans I guess there's nothing to see here.

That sounds like you're mixing up cause and effect?
