A joint Hack and Four Corners investigation reveals how TikTok is exposing users to dangerous content and misinformation, and accused of censoring others.
Beyond the dances and skits there’s a darker side to TikTok. In our second collaboration with Four Corners, Hack reveals how the app harvests data and takes users down harmful paths.
The investigation has found the app's powerful algorithm fuels body image issues and eating disorders in young people by promoting unhealthy exercise and diet content.
While the app faces pressure to take down this kind of content, it’s also been accused of supressing certain types of creators.
