Source of: Peña-Fernández, Simón, Larrondo-Ureta, Ainara, & Morales-i-Gras, Jordi. (2022). Current affairs on TikTok. Virality and entertainment for digital natives. Profesional De La Información, 31(1), 1–12. https://doi.org/10.5281/zenodo.5962655 Abstract: Since its appearance in 2018, TikTok has become one of the most popular social media platforms among digital natives because of its algorithm-based engagement strategies, a policy of public accounts, and a simple, colorful, and intuitive content interface. As happened in the past with other platforms such as Facebook, Twitter, and Instagram, various media are currently seeking ways to adapt to TikTok and its particular characteristics to attract a younger audience less accustomed to the consumption of journalistic material. Against this background, the aim of this study is to identify the presence of the media and journalists on TikTok, measure the virality and engagement of the content they generate, describe the communities created around them, and identify the presence of journalistic use of these accounts. For this, 23,174 videos from 143 accounts belonging to media from 25 countries were analyzed. The results indicate that, in general, the presence and impact of the media in this social network are low and that most of their content is oriented towards the creation of user communities based on viral content and entertainment. However, albeit with a lesser presence, one can also identify accounts and messages that adapt their content to the specific characteristics of TikTok. Their virality and engagement figures illustrate that there is indeed a niche for current affairs on this social network.

This dataset contains the coding matrices used in a visual content analysis of publicly available Spanish-language media depicting children across TikTok, YouTube Kids, and Roblox. The dataset supports research on children’s digital identity, performativity, affectivity, and visual representation.

In a context where there is permanent electoral campaigning, an increasing number of political communication experts are trying to unravel the resources used by government officials and their parties to influence TikTok users. From a broad perspective, the subject matter is not new, but it is topical; nonetheless, this research discloses a gap in the literature by amalgamating the recognition of idiosyncratic attributes of the feminisation of political discourse on TikTok with the analysis of the reactions (text and emojis) that the audiovisual content imbued by this trend elicits in users. The purpose is to ascertain whether the inclusive tone of the feminised rhetorical style can be extrapolated to TikTok and, if so, whether its particular characteristics mitigate expressions of incivility. To do so, the initial content posted (first seven months) on TikTok by the Spanish political platform Sumar with its leader, Yolanda Díaz, featuring prominently in most of the videos, were selected for scrutiny. A mixed methodology analysis of audiovisual content and comments showed that the anti-polarisation rhetoric and storytelling contributed to neutralising the extreme forms of flaming, although Sumar did not use a strategy tailor-made to suit TikTok.

The TikHarm dataset is a curated collection of TikTok videos designed to train models for classifying harmful content. The dataset is in the format of UCF101, and it is specifically focused on content accessible to children, with the aim of distinguishing between different types of potentially harmful material.

Data Collection:

Data was gathered from TikTok, targeting videos that are accessible to children to ensure the dataset reflects the type of content they are likely to encounter.

Data Labeling:

Collected videos were manually labeled into four predefined categories: - Harmful Content: Videos that depict violence, dangerous actions that children might imitate, or other harmful behavior. - Adult Content: Videos containing sexual content or other material deemed inappropriate for children. - Safe: Videos that are appropriate and safe for children to view: popular cartoon, etc. - Suicide: Videos that depict, suggest, or discuss suicidal behavior or ideation.

Dataset Statistics:

These tables present the duration statistics for each subset and class within the TikHarm dataset.

This comprehensive dataset is invaluable for developing robust video classification models to automatically detect and categorize harmful content on social media platforms.
