Big Tech accused of stonewalling European social media researchers
摘要
一项针对TikTok的研究显示，在2024年11月罗马尼亚总统选举前数周，多个此前长期发布美甲或时尚内容的账号突然开始推广名不见经传的极右翼候选人卡林·乔治斯库。其宣扬强硬移民立场和反犹太主义的内容在投票前被观看1.2亿次。乔治斯库此前支持率仅为个位数，最终却以23%的得票率赢得首轮选举。荷兰马斯特里赫特大学计算社会科学系主任阿德里安娜·亚姆尼奇领导团队调查
In the final weeks before Romania’s presidential vote in November 2024, TikTok accounts that had previously spent years posting about manicures or fashion suddenly started promoting a little-known politician named Calin Georgescu.
His posts, espousing hard-line views on immigration and anti-Semitic tropes, were viewed 120 million times before the vote. Georgescu, who had previously been polling in the single digits, stunned observers by winning the election’s first round with 23 percent of the vote.
In the Netherlands, Adriana Iamnitchi was watching closely. As chair of computational social sciences at Maastricht University, she leads the research into disinformation campaigns. She wanted to know how pro-Georgescu content was being monetized on TikTok through hidden influencer marketing and livestreamed political content.
