End of May, we submitted a long pdf listing the #TikTok data accessible through scraping compared to what they offer through the research API. After some additional research, we are making even longer lists available showcasing what data TikTok has on users and about videos: https://github.com/snv-berlin/tiktok-audit/tree/main/Data%20Access
We invite suggestions to annotate the data. Please send ideas via GitHub issues. #dataaccess #platformresearch -
#PlatformResearch is when you make #TikTok feed you nazi-memes and you are somewhat happy, even more getting to that pount organically, then boosting the feed be protocolling all those creators and hashtags. There is this ambivalence and ethical concern with those things, which are only topped by the inherent conundrum of making a living from critically researching the world's malices. And there is this dash of sadness to realize that all this is real.
However, the data is hot, and the relieve, I tell you, that you will have at least this result to exploit. Alas, what awkward happiness to have found shit?
Like we could paraphrase in German: Es gibt keine richtige Forschung im Falschen.
