A joint Hack and Four Corners investigation reveals how TikTok is exposing users to dangerous content and misinformation, and accused of censoring others.

Beyond the dances and skits there’s a darker side to TikTok. In our second collaboration with Four Corners, Hack reveals how the app harvests data and takes users down harmful paths.
