Anonymous TikTok accounts backing radical parties before Czech vote, study finds

Hundreds of anonymous accounts on video-sharing platform TikTok have been increasingly active in spreading pro-Russia narratives and backing radical parties ahead of the Czech Republic’s October 3-4 election, a non-governmental group said on Sunday.

Online Risk Labs, a newly formed group of Czech analysts, said it had identified 286 TikTok accounts that have been boosting each other’s content. Between them, they have 5 million to 9 million views per week - more than the combined reach of mainstream party leaders, the group said.
