happy to appear 'unimpressed' in Politico & @johnjohnstonmi's interesting British political TikTok analysis. (Reform UK have 47k followers) https://t.co/QvP2fyDXEi
The Biden campaign joined TikTok this week. I wanted to talk through the implications, so I booked two experts on this week's INSIDE THE HIVE podcast: WIRED reporter @kellymakena and Biden-supporting TikToker @harryjsisson. So many insights here: https://t.co/QRQOXF6vFN https://t.co/MvO7F2JxNG
On Inside the Hive, @brianstelter explores how Joe Biden’s campaign is embracing TikTok, speaking with @kellymakena, a senior writer at Wired, and @harryjsisson, an NYU junior and TikTok political commentator. 🔗: https://t.co/jyscCEzQFv https://t.co/lEwbMVabeE
When teenage boys are making video memes in praise of a political party repped by a 59-year-old Brexiteer, you know something strange is happening. Here's a look into Reform UK's presence on TikTok 👇 https://t.co/Qj8EAQlPfe
Joe Biden just posted his 12th TikTok video after banning 4 million federal employees from using it https://t.co/3G5Ra19fhp
So let me get this straight: the @joebiden campaign and @nytimes have TikTok accounts, but American citizens should not use TikTok?
So the @nytimes and @JoeBiden campaign have TikTok accounts, but the American citizen should not use TikTok? A weird "do as I say not as I do" disconnect.
i say this as someone entering my fourth consecutive election reporting on social media's influence on politics: joe biden's tiktok problem is mostly a joe biden problem https://t.co/rAy38YJ91D
TikTok has become a hub for political chat and debate and yet British political parties are strangely absent...except one. I spoke to TikTok pros, political campaign strategists and the parties themselves to find out what's going down. https://t.co/llLTUUhPUh
Fascinating long(ish)-read from the always-interesting @johnjohnstonmi, who's got some good stuff on the potential TikTok offers other parties from Ben Guerin (he of the Kiwi firm that helped the Tories win in 2019 and National win in NZ in 2023). https://t.co/5YKzgLl4RY
Excellent @POLITICOEurope article by @johnjohnstonmi about how UK political parties are using (or rather failing to use) TikTok. Biden's using it and so could Labour shadow ministers. Needs to be national as hard for candidates to target local audiences. https://t.co/ylQ8QTjz4j
Can Biden’s TikTok page avoid becoming one big “how do you do, fellow kids?” meme? We’re about to find out. Popular TikTokers across industries tell @POLITICOMag what they do — and don’t — want to see from the president's new account👇 https://t.co/VxJgX1OFGW
.@cwarzel asked Joe Biden's campaign about the president's TikTok presence https://t.co/eeoFkoFUgC
SHOCK: TikTok's algo has resulted in thousands of pro-Hamas comments on Biden's latest videos on the Chinese-controlled platform. The president has been hearing from Hamas at events and on the campaign trail, and now on his campaign’s newest platform. https://t.co/B510cxeWfm
Democratic Senate Intelligence Committee chair expresses concerns over Biden campaign on TikTok "I'm a little worried about a mixed message," Warner said. Read more ⬇️ https://t.co/brhhe7SVPp
The White House responded to the criticism in President Joe Biden's TikTok comment section over U.S. support of Israel. "Our position doesn't change," Press Secretary Karine Jean-Pierre said Wednesday. https://t.co/TkF9rw4PWl
Karine Jean-Pierre stumbles through an answer on the Biden campaign's TikTok being "flooded" with pro-Hamas comments: "We value and we always, obviously, bring the space, um, make sure there's space available for folks to, for folks to, you know, share their concerns." https://t.co/vA9qHBF1Ny
President Biden’s TikTok account has posted 8 videos since its launch. Many of the comment sections on those videos are overwhelmed with notes about Gaza, airstrikes on Rafah and Palestinians who’ve been caught in the crossfire of the Israel-Hamas war. https://t.co/y7sTMLlP8o
