1/ Our TikTok paper is out! Our study, led by the brilliant @Scott1Griffiths, compared the TikTok algorithms of people w & without eating disorders. If a user has an eating disorder, the next TikTok video they see is ✨4,343%✨ more likely to promote disordered eating
Our study on the TikTok algorithm and eating disorders is finally published (big thx 2 @emilya_harris). We scraped the metadata for ~1 million TikTok videos delivered to users w/ eating disorders versus users w/out eating disorders (i.e. healthy controls) https://t.co/T3CJg0buKo
