According to Pew Research, less than one percent of accounts followed by U.S. adults on TikTok are politicians, civic actors, or traditional media outlets.
People predominantly follow accounts that post content about entertainment, humor, and pop culture, with political discussions often mixed into these themes.
Though users may not actively follow political accounts, 45 percent of U.S. TikTok users still report encountering political content on the platform.
Questions about the political content seen on TikTok have intensified, particularly following allegations of biased content promotion during geopolitical events.
