TikTok and X have shown evidence of substantial Far Right political bias in Germany ahead of a federal election that takes place Sunday .

Non-partisan social media users in Germany are being exposed to right-leaning content more than twice as much as left-leaning.

TikTok showed the most extreme bias on TikTok , where 78% of the political content that was algorithmically recommended to its test accounts was supportive of the AfD party .

Global Witness has shared its findings with EU officials responsible for enforcing the bloc’s algorithmic accountability rules on large platforms.

Studying how proprietary content-sorting algorithms function is challenging, as platforms typically keep such details under wraps.

The EU enacted the Digital Services Act (DSA) in recent years — its flagship online governance rulebook.
