Young TikTok users exposed to Nazi and hateful content, P3 News review finds

Young users on TikTok encounter political content that is hateful and Nazi - even though they are not searching for it, a review by P3 News shows.

Almost a third of the political posts users receive on TikTok contain elements of hatred, incitement or gross violations.

This is shown by a survey of thousands of TikTok posts carried out by P3 News using eight fake profiles and AI analysis.

A number of accounts are urging users to join the Nordic Resistance Movement, NMR.
