January 6 rioters used video sharing app TikTok to recruit participants and even warned them to bring guns to the Stop the Steal rally that preceded it, the Department of Homeland Security says.
DHS's Office of Intelligence and Analysis filed a report this April highlighting concerns that violent content was growing on the Chinese-owned social media platform, from promoting the riot and acts of terrorism to instructing others how to build bombs and sabotage railroad tracks.
The five page report, obtained by the Property of the People transparency watchdog group and shared with Politico Thursday, comes as federal authorities examine the role social media companies like TikTok played in the Capitol riot, which left five people dead and more than 600 people charged with crimes.
DHS's officials issued a specific alert over TikTok because authorities had initially been unaware of the platform and how it was used.
But now officials understand that the platform has become a popular site for extremist activities, Politico reports.
The social media giant has about 100 million active users in the US, with TikTok generally seen as a place for younger users to upload funny or informative videos complete with sound and visual effects.
The agency cited multiple videos promoting the January 6 riot, including of one user who told others to bring firearms to the Capitol.
DHS also made notice of TikTok videos discussing how to tamper with railroad tracks, interfere with the National Guard during riots and how to access White House tunnels.
They also detailed incidents aboard where terrorists used the platform to promote their plans and ideals. In October 2019, ISIS had used TikTok to show off corpses, guns and their acts of violence.

More bs disinformation to help viceroy joe.
The “siege” was staged — all of it.
What a load of horseshit this report is. Pure propaganda - to what end though?
The FBI used TikTok to spread the narrative.
jahh jah heir goebbles..
There weren’t many guns in evidence among the protesters, and they fired no shots. Have any gun charges been made? Maybe two or three? Any?
“The FBI used TikTok to spread the narrative”
Multiple digitally raped US Gymnast are nodding in agreement.
LOL BS! The uninvited anteefie terrorist should have STAYED AWAY. Looks like they were asking for trouble. :-0)))))))))
Because right wing anything uses the crap out of Tik-Toc. It’s how we roll- to broadcast to everyone. /s
You’d think with the growing invasion on the southern border the Department of Homeland Security would have better things to do than play around on TikTok.
And yet there were no guns.
1 cop shot and killed an unarmed woman
Isn’t TikTok just for kids eating detergent, women plastering on makeup tips, and everyone else dancing like faggots?
This is STAGE-SETTING from the Government Persecutors. Nothing of this has been proven in court AND I have not heard about a single CITIZEN gun! The one that we know was used, was by a uniformed cop against an UNARMED CITIZEN and killed her!
Garbage for biasing the trials, with (My Opinion) intent to have as Soviet-style Show Trials in summer of 2022. Election season, Democrats need meat to feed to media sharks!
but no links to back it up...
so tell me why was Parler nuked again?
>> DHS also made notice of TikTok videos discussing ...
Of course, Joseph Stolen killed the Oracle/TikTok deal that would have given better controls over foreign meddling.
In other words:
THE FBI PLANNED ALL OF IT !!
no guns were used...meanwhile two NY attorney’s used maltov cocktails during the BLM protests in NYC yet are still allowed to practice law.
