BBC just emailed all staff about use of TikTok:
If “you do not need TikTok for business reasons, TikTok should be deleted from BBC corporate mobile devices”
BBC says it’s reviewing whether to ban TikTok on all corporate devices – at Wales, United Kingdom

TikTok’s new feature for algo calibration promises users better control over their rabbit holes; I wonder (1) will *computational agency* help users keep their curatorial power over the fyp? (2) will it enable creators to bridge visibility thresholds? 👀 techcrunch.com/2023/03/16/ti…

I spoke to @saraashleyo at @cnni about how #TikTok videos of the Johnny Depp/Amber Heard trial (re-)create realities of it
TikTok posts about actor Johnny Depp's defamation trial against his ex-wife, actress Amber Heard, have turned some into accidental influencers, while making targets out of others. cnn.it/3sBFvhh
Excited to attend #ica22 and talk about how young people socialized on #TikTok by sharing videos of lived #COVID19 experiences during the first lockdown @MINTLabCMU
Also hoping to meet many fellow #TikTok researchers in person! Finally! 🙌😃

TikTok is turning Johnny Depp's trail into a meme performance; Happy to reflect in @TIME on TikTok’s playful regime manifested in user’s rush to memetic participation motivated by algorithmic amplification, while weaponizing humor for visual hijack of mainstream media narratives.
Why has the Johnny Depp/Amber Heard trial taken over TikTok? For @TIME I tried to answer, with the help of @abbieasr, @fansumption and @TomDivon time.com/6172174/johnny-depp…
