Overview

The AfD is clearly the strongest force on TikTok. Its official account has far more followers than those of the other major German parties combined. 14 to 19-year-olds are the main users of the social media platform TikTok, followed by those aged 20 and over. That is why the AfD is particularly popular with young voters there. How does the political party manage this? And what does this mean for the upcoming early federal election in February 2025? For the documentary, the team of authors researched undercover, created numerous fake accounts and delved deep into the bubble of AfD supporters. A dark world in which even official AfD party representatives flood TikTok with massive amounts of content and in which their right-wing extremist and anti-constitutional messages reach millions of young people. The AfD has understood how to use the time that young people statistically spend on TikTok per day for their indoctrination. And that could have fatal consequences.

Diversity: High
Confidence: Medium

The documentary critically examines a political party's strategic use of social media to disseminate populist and fear-based messaging, which is explicitly identified as being at odds with diversity, equity, and inclusion principles.
