What connects amateur sleuths turning up at crime scenes, anti-social behaviour in UK schools and riots in France? The answer, according to a 大象传媒 investigation, is that they are all examples of a TikTok 'frenzy'.

Marianna Spring, the 大象传媒鈥檚 disinformation correspondent, has spent the last year investigating harmful behaviour on TikTok spilling out into the real-world.
