What is this episode about

What links riots in France, antisocial behaviour in British schools, and the appearance of amateur detectives at crime scenes? A BBC inquiry concluded that these phenomena are manifestations of a TikTok “frenzy.”

BBC disinformation correspondent Marianna Spring has spent the past year looking into the effects of harmful behaviour on TikTok on the real world. She contacts TikTok users, victims, and ex-employees to reveal how the platform’s “frenzies” surrounding certain topics appear to be inspiring previously unaccepted behaviour.
