Acting-with: On the Development of a Public Realm on TikTok during the Pandemic and its Potential to Enable Action.
The pandemic and subsequent wave of lockdowns in many countries led to a massive increase in TikTok users globally, boosting the platform's public significance. Even if TikTok's political potential is already established, the platform still lacks a theoretical underpinning as a space for action. Usi...

Due to the unique algorithmic logic of this app, I argue that users are acting-with the algorithm when engaging in political action from home: be it in the form of national political protest or international acts of care and empowerment. I base my analysis on philosophical theory, cross-disciplinary TikTok research, and my own experiences on TikTok during the pandemic years. pubtype: Academic Journal doctype: Article src: R language: English refInfo: copyright: @attributes: flag: Y custom: Copyright of Techné: Research in Philosophy & Technology is the property of Philosophy Documentation Center and its content may not be copied or emailed to multiple sites without the copyright holder's express written permission.
