Description: A coordinated neo-Nazi network on TikTok used AI-generated media, including Hitler speeches, to spread Nazi propaganda and extremist content, violating TikTok’s hate speech policies. The network evaded platform moderation through coded language, imagery, and music, with some accounts accumulating millions of views. TikTok’s algorithm further amplified the reach of this content, despite community guidelines.
Editor Notes: Reconstructing the timeline of events: On February 6, 2023, an account with violent antisemitic content calling for armed revolution began posting on TikTok. In May 2024, the Institute for Strategic Dialogue (ISD) created two dummy accounts to track how TikTok's algorithm recommended pro-Nazi content. By June 3, 2024, ISD had identified a Nazi account that had accumulated over 87,000 views before being banned. Despite this, on June 6, 2024, a heavily extremist pro-Nazi account remained active, recruiting members to off-platform groups. Finally, on July 29, 2024, ISD published its full report, revealing a coordinated network of over 200 accounts promoting Nazism and extremist content, some of which used AI-generated media to bypass TikTok’s moderation efforts. For this incident ID, I am taking the ISD's date of publication for their findings as the incident date.
Note on "NazTok": The ISD report uses the term "NazTok" in their title for the report as a shorthand for "Nazi TikTok" while not explicitly defining their use of this term beyond that inferred meaning. I am replicating "NazTok" in the Deployers field to tie likely new incidents that will emerge together in this particular genre of incident. I have retroactively applied "NazTok" to Incident 809's Deployer field too.

Los nazis autoidentificados están promoviendo abiertamente el discurso de odio y el reclutamiento en el mundo real en TikTok. La plataforma no solo no elimina estos videos y cuentas, sino que su algoritmo está amplificando su alcance. Adver…
Variantes
Una "Variante" es un incidente que comparte los mismos factores causales, produce daños similares e involucra los mismos sistemas inteligentes que un incidente de IA conocido. En lugar de indexar las variantes como incidentes completamente separados, enumeramos las variaciones de los incidentes bajo el primer incidente similar enviado a la base de datos. A diferencia de otros tipos de envío a la base de datos de incidentes, no se requiere que las variantes tengan informes como evidencia externa a la base de datos de incidentes.
