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”

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…

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…

TikTok is an app of joy and creativity. It's also the exploitation of Black culture at its most refined and disturbing.
We heard from 29 Black creators who shared stories of muted posts, in-app harassment, and incidents of racism 1/
