Sadly no surprise: #TicToc's #algorithm pushes for #negativity, #conflict and #division - unlike ist sibling Douyin in #China.
Now a study in the #Netherlands show that mostly negative posts of the right-wing extremist, #xenophobic and massively #islamophobic #PVV of #Wilders are being pushed by TicToc's algorithm. I am so not surprised. This is how many young folks are drifting towards fringe right positions.
TicToc is a #psyops from China to divide us. #socialmedia

Sabi's been fighting through her own agony and lack of food and sleep, to keep her family safe.
Now add dangers posed by #antihomelessness laws, #xenophobic assholes, assault and exposure; as this family is in the most danger, support has fallen to such a dangerous level that they are left with nothing save for either two possible outcomes: SUPPORT COMES IN OR THEY PERISH.
@georgemonbiot.bsky.social Glassman is #fascist, & shouldn't be in the #LabourParty! He is promoting a #racist & #xenophobic agenda.
Forrin?
Want to settle in the UK?
The government wants to make you wait twice as long.
PS: It will tell you it's not really #xenophobic, but it *is* Reform Lite.
China released #DeepSeek, described as a "phenomenally efficient and open-source large language model that sucked trillions out of the Wall Street AI bubble," representing another "Sputnik moment" for the West.
#china leadership in energy and technology is leaving the #US behind, especially under the "leadership" of #xenophobic #reactionary fascists beholden to a cabal of #oligarch #landpirates
Flirting with Fascism
In }Britain, August 2025 looks much like August 2024: a bit of sun, plenty of rain – and a rising tide of far-right extremism threatening communities across the country.
We haven’t yet seen anything on the scale of last summer’s anti-migrant riots. But in some ways, what we are seeing is more foreboding: relatively mainstream politicians are getting in on the #xenophobic #hate parades.

@msbellows @jaykuo This is explicitly & unashamedly #racist, #xenophobic, #misogynistic, "culture war" stuff, isn't it? It's #Trump #ideology in visual form.
@vfrmedia @NorthantsGreens "Fortress #Europe", enforced by FRONTEX + "Fortress #Britain", enforced by the Border Force & UK police drug squads. Paranoid, #racist & #xenophobic.

“#Clearview is already well positioned to capitalize on #Trump’s #xenophobic plans.”
“#Immigrants aren’t the only people at #risk. […] "It creates a really disturbingly powerful #tool for #police that can #identify nearly every person at a #protest or a reproductive #health facility or a house of #worship with just #photos of those people’s #faces" […]”

#Trump’s #SecretPolice Are Stalking More and More Students
We are at that point when one can consider that travelling to the #USA if you're not #WASP and wealthy, is highly dangerous. And also remaining in the US if you are only on #visa or #greencard also puts you at high risk of being simply disappeared on a pure whim, by zealote officers of a heavily #racist, #xenophobic and #authoritarian #dictatorship . The USA are not a #democracy anymore. You can't trust it.

A #chauvinist #union going full mask off anti #communist / #xenophobic. Not saying I’m surprised, it’s just a teachable moment. #Teamsters
The Congressional #Hispanic Caucus [#CHC] released a statement hitting back at the #Republicans attack on its chairperson.
“This #xenophobic rhetoric from #Trump Republicans proves that you can follow the #law, get your papers, become a #citizen, get elected to #Congress — swear multiple #oaths to protect & defend the #Constitution — & all you will ever be to Trump Republicans: an ‘illegal immigrant,’” the group wrote in a post.
#Espaillat accused #Trump of fostering an “environment of fear among the immigrant community” during his Tues night speech, & told a story about a US citizen who had been wrongfully detained by #ICE as part of Trump’s crackdown on undocumented immigrants.
The #NRCC, which once posted a wildly #xenophobic ad showing AI-generated images of immigrants flooding US national parks, issued a new installment in its catalogue of extremely #racist posts, this time targeting Espaillat.
*Bloody asylum seekers-comin' over 'ere eating the fish out of communal ponds; and-AND they're eating the seagulls as well!* (a la Stewart Lee's "coming over here")
How dare they treat our ponds like a sashimi buffet!!?
And the evidence? Pond-side fishmongery would be a messy business. Perhaps it's enough to simply see people you suspect of being foreign and accuse them of crimes? I'll take this #xenophobic nonsense with the very large pinch of salt it deserves
#Georgescu has praised Romania’s 1930s #fascist leaders & lauded #Russia’s … #Putin as “a man who loves his country”. Polls show he has a clear lead in the 4 May rerun, although it is not certain that he will be allowed to stand.
The promotion of fascist leaders & #Nazi, #racist or #xenophobic symbols are banned under Romanian #law & carry a prison sentence, although cases have rarely been brought to court.
Amid claims of “massive” social media promotion, #Georgescu, who was polling in single digits before the ballot & declared zero campaign spending, has denied any wrongdoing….
Prosecutors said earlier that they had raided 47 addresses of Georgescu’s associates as part of an investigation into alleged offences including “establishing an organisation with a #fascist, #racist or #xenophobic character” & “false statements” regarding campaign financing.

Free Speech and #tiktok ? You can't be serious?
In Austria, experiments were made by teenagers who started TikTok without any "history", no prior clicks either, merely their names, age and location for registration. The TikTok algorithm recommended to them #xenophobic speeches of #farright politicians, Islamic preachers, videos about Trump and even offers of naturalization in #russia .

The results of the experiment were forwarded to the European Commission.
