If anything ive noticed that youtube shorts are somewhat of an alt right pipeline. I keep getting the likes of Shapiro, Musk and Tate shorts, even tho I never watch their content and am against it
TIKTOK IS FROM CHINA. AND THESE PEOPLE RSALLY LOVR CHAOS
If DW is a public broadcaster, why is it constantly attacking the political opponents of the German pseudo-elite? Didn't you claim Hungary was undemocratic because it's public and private media supported the government. Yet here you are taking it to a new extreme.
thank you for fighting for Germany
The whole point of tiktoks algorithm is for communist china to collapse western society.
All the riots in England too 😢
Scam Tok is not the problem, the german centric mindset is the main problem. But it's been like this for centuries. Deutschland Uber Alles!!! 🤡🤡🤡🤡🤡🤡🤡🤡🤡🤡🤡🤡🤡🤡🤡🤡🤡🤡🤡🤡🤡🤡🤡🤡🤡🤡🤡🤡🤡🤡🤡🤡🤡🤡🤡🤡
Democracy doesn’t exist
Summary: Leftlists are right. Everyone else is wrong because they're extremists.
NOBODY TOUCHES MY SCHNITZEL lol cmon
Ban social media period. The world was a better place without it.
Uh oh… Seems like Goebbles is now a member of tiktok
You're not starting off very balanced which is the true role of journalism. You report it and we decide what to think – not you. it seems you are helping the argument that mainstream media has a socialist or left wing bias. Here in the UK the BBC is totally left wing so I don't watch or listen to it. Pointing out problems with immigration is not far right it's sensible. Why are you so horrified about the rise in support of the right?? Sorry couldn't watch this propaganda. Very poor show DW.
Young people are vulnerable for Chinese and FSB influence . . .
Only Morons use TikTok
well, we live in weird world after all, get it
From the bottom of my heart, I believe what a majority Germans really want is a truly open conversation about current problems and how to resolve them.
No labeling, just facts and analysing ups and downs of each possibility. And at the end of it, give a recommendation for the best proposal.
I dont even know which news to watch anymore.
One screem "we want to leave Europe" and "kill all foreigners"
While the others don't address serious issues at all.
Neither is the right way. We need an open and honest discussion, not affiliated to any party with dedication to neutrality and facts!
I beg you…
All I want is to feel safe at home and preserve the local cultures. I don't mind hearing other opinions.
How do we know China is not intentionally boosting right wing posts? Honestly it should just be banned. You just cannot trust China.
thanks for sharing
This wasn't one of the best DW videos. It is biased towards uncritical descriptors of the left. Why does it bother explore why many people are unconvinced and indeed hostile to left wing ideologies.
I think this attack now on social media after exposed the German role towards the crimes happening again civilians in Gaza and how Germany is exposed badly!
Well German media is equally doesn't support democracy! Its quite funny to put the blame on social media! The far right reached after long term of misguiding and polarizing by domestic media !
– how much bias do you want to have in your "documentary"
DW – Yes
It's not social media is undermining democracy. It's the increasing difficulty for manipulating with mainstream media. People are not easily fooled because if the new media.
Wow, the big money capital really hate a platform out of their chains. Israel's new command for US and DW.
The CCP sets tik tok's algorithm to manipulate politics in every country, except China. It's a perfect tool to do this.
"People on tiktok aren`t stupid". Sure 😂
So "Populism" is now evil. People not wanting to be rolled by international oligarchs is evil.
This is trashy, low-effort propaganda against German people, especially the youth, advocating for their right to a secure, coherent, and truly free nation – and it's funded by their own tax money! Not surprising though – what else could you expect from the Zionist occupation government that lords over Germany?
I stopped watching after 15 seconds.
George Orwell's "The masses maintain the brand, the brand maintains the media, and the media controls the masses" no longer makes any sense in a world where algorithms create the masses and promote all kinds of brands without needing the old media. Media control was inefficient, porous, and open to criticism from within and without. Algorithms are very efficient, they exist and operate in an imperceptible environment, and criticizing them is useless because they only promote what can increase the wealth and power of their owners.
Oh no it’s social media that’s is why the far right is rising! No it’s the far left politics which pushed people in that direction.
Short videos speak to the smallest brains. That is why AFD is so popular on this app.
Youth generations are always inside all problems and difficulties wages in their's fatherland. They have ultra rights to condemning dangerous phenomena which attacking their's interests in their fatherland..Holocaust occurred during WW2, not nowadays… had not a relationship to AFD & and the right political wing in European countries demanding.. preserving European followers' interest, European cultural, streets security. ☪️ Islamophobia is a dangerous project and obvious phenomenon in European countries.. if European peoples attend or not
It's interesting that people who get involved are later hired. And where does the money come from? The billionaire class? Russia? China? Obviously, they aren't getting lots of money from grassroots fundraising.
Love how populism is portrayed as a bad thing.
TikTok is one app I'm so happy not to have.
"Of course I make policies for minority groups."
"Which ones?"
"Germans, of course."
Absolute legend.
tiktok is a brainwashing app
Extremists are the point, lol. To be for or against any aspect of the modern world, you must be extreme.
