THIS TOOL TO STUDY TIKTOK'S PERSONALIZATION ALGORITHM IS NOW DISCONTINUED.

Summer 2023 announcement

tiktok.tracking.exposed was the last platform supported by the Tracking Exposed
infrastructure and team. It have been developed in 2022 and was built over a
fork of Facebook Tracking Exposed.

In just few years this project produces unique evidence based findings on
TikTok. The pionering approach has influenced other organization in attempting
analogous analysis, developing new technologies, and expanding the research
scope.

Europe 2023, with the DSA starting to be enforced and the AI Act on its final
stage, tools like this act as a living proof that indepdendent algorithm
analysis, reverse engineering, scraping in the public interest are the last
resort to keep accountable a tech ecosystem designed to be manipulastive and
secretive. Follows a list of this project publications:

10 August 2022, report n.3 published: Shadow-promotion: TikTok’s algorithmic
recommendation of banned content in Russia. 21 pages .pdf

13 April 2022, report n.2 published: Pro-war content dominates on TikTok in
Russia after failure to implement its own policy. 23 pages .pdf

15 March 2022, report n.1 published: TikTok blocks 95% of content for users in
Russia. 20 pages .pdf

These report gots major coverage in the news media, also because we were among
the first to capture the intersection between Silicon Valley - Chinese
differences of behaviour toward the Russia-Ukraine conflict. A report was also
exensively quoted in the US congress as evidence, to question TikTok CEO.

January 2022, preliminary research on TikTok geoblocking and content banning
techniques, made as part of the University of Amsterdam winter school.
