Election 2024: Foreign Accounts Push Political Lies on TikTok
Graphika's Chief Intelligence Officer, Jack Stubbs, provides insight for the Wall Street Journal's latest article on TikTok-based election interference.
With the 2024 U.S. presidential election fast approaching, the world is watching the U.S. political landscape with a close lens.
A recent report from The Wall Street Journal featuring Graphika insights found that Americans are being targeted with inaccurate political content and divisive narratives ahead of November. The source? Foreign TikTok networks including dozens of accounts from China, Nigeria, Iran, and Vietnam. Anti-Trump videos, generated with the help of artificial intelligence, are prominent in the content.
Creating and disseminating this material has become an easy lift for anyone armed with artificial intelligence and other automation tools.
In the new article, Graphika's Chief Intelligence Officer Jack Stubbs noted that “anyone with $5 and a credit card can do this.”
