Inside Tiktok’s real-life frenzies – from riots to false murder accusations

• the BBC has identified four episodes in recent months where disproportionate engagement on TikTok was connected to harmful behaviour:
  • An online obsession with a murder case in Idaho, USA, that led to innocent people being falsely accused
  • Interference in the police investigation of Nicola Bulley, who went missing in Lancashire, UK
  • School protests involving vandalism spreading across the UK
  • Fanning flames of riots in France, which spread at an unusual intensity and to unexpected locations
  • Ex-staffers at TikTok liken these frenzies to “wildfires” and describe them as “dangerous”, especially as the app’s audience can be young and impressionable.
