On last day of #aoir2025 @lionw.bsky.social presents our @weizenbauminstitut.bsky.social work on TikTok data donation from the 2025 German Federal Election - only 5% of content was political and the Left party could capitalize most in reaching voters of other parties with their content on TT.

Has anyone else recently received a reply from the #tiktok research API support team after just 6 months? They transitioned to a new communication system. God knows how that company is still running if they could not communicate for 6 months, or could they 👀. #capitalistprioritiesarewild

Loving @ic2s2.bsky.social , but I wonder if we're asking the right questions. Is "How can I outsource this task to a proprietary, black box, resource-intensive, often un-validated LLM?" when fit-for-purpose classifiers abound a computational a computational research question? Or even scientific?

@ic2s2.bsky.social Thought provoking keynote by Arnout van de Rijt! What's a better proxy for economic success over lifetime - wage rank or wealth? Wealth might show the exact opposite results, with wage being rather another (un)lucky event instead of an outcome of the other (un)lucky events.

How or why does #political content spread on #TikTok? Is there a large supply by political actors, is there a high demand by users for political content or is that content preferred by the platform algorithms? Weizenbaum researcher Felix Gaisbauer takes the issue apart at #WIConf2025

The TikTok Research API continues to fail in providing any data, no matter the query, on videos published between (incl.) the 13th and 21th of January. Across APIs, researchers, and institutes in Europe. Tiktok data access is a farce. #dsa #eu #tiktok
