Abstract

TikTok, the popular video-sharing app, is becoming a significant platform for political engagement and communication. With its massive user base and viral nature, TikTok has the potential to shape public opinion and influence the political landscape. The app's rise in popularity has not been without controversy, as it faced scrutiny from the Trump administration over security concerns. However, politicians from both sides of the aisle, including Vice President Kamala Harris and former President Donald Trump, have embraced TikTok as a way to connect with voters. While some may dismiss TikTok as a platform for young people, it has become a source of news and cultural influence for a significant portion of the population. [Extracted from the article]
