To explore technology bias, I recently did a research project about TikTok, a popular social media platform. In this Part 1 of a two part series, I'll introduce the background and history of TikTok as well as some key important industry terms like shadowbanning and filter bubbles. I'll also talk about how TikTok's algorithms work to set up a deeper exploration into bias in Part 2.
