Tiktokland. The influence of TikTok on the rise of the far-right among young people in Portugal

Portugal

Description

Our project aims to investigate the political impact of TikTok among the youth of key parishes in Portugal where the far right has seen notable electoral success.

“We believe that the original combination of methods used by a multidisciplinary team made up of journalists and academic researchers from the fields of data science and political science will pave the way for a cross-cutting and rich approach to how far-right content on TikTok interacts with local contexts and influences political attitudes” — Expresso
