TikTok

TikTok is a Chinese-owned social media platform that enables users to create, edit, and share short-form videos, typically ranging from 15 seconds to 10 minutes. Launched internationally in 2018, it has rapidly become one of the world's most influential digital platforms, with over a billion monthly active users across all age groups. The app's algorithm-driven feed and creative editing tools have made it a cultural phenomenon, shaping global trends, music preferences, and public discourse.

TikTok's influence extends into political and social spheres, including discussions about Israel, the Middle East, and Jewish-related topics. The platform has become a venue where news spreads, narratives form, and activism takes shape. Questions about content moderation, misinformation, government regulation, and data privacy have made TikTok a subject of intense scrutiny worldwide. In Azerbaijan and across the region, the platform plays a growing role in public opinion formation and youth engagement.
