Beyond challenges and viral dance moves : TikTok as a vehicle for disinformation and fact-checking in Spain, Portugal, Brazil, and the USA.
Resumen: This paper analyses the narrative of disinformation disseminated through the social network
TikTok, a network which is popular at a global level and whose users are mainly
young or very young. To do so, a study was carried out on the content of publications on
TikTok in four countries with different idiosyncrasies and national realities: Spain, Portugal,
Brazil, and the United States. Interviews were also conducted with fact-checking
agencies on the potential for misinformation and fact-checking potential on this social
network. The results suggest that due to its characteristics as a fresh, visual network with
easily shareable and viral content, TikTok is a network that facilitates the spread of disinformation,
but which in turn is a tool for debunking hoaxes beyond the range of action of
conventional media.
