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.

Guess the FBI is no longer credible so they have to get the DHS to do their lying for them.....
He was never on our side.
So, why were no guns found at this “armed insurrection”?
That would the FBI.
So that is how the FBI pulled off this caper.
Total BS. Trumpers don’t even use that app.
And yet…there was only one shot fired…by a terrified cop.
It sure was staged....
By BLM, Antifa, and FBI instigators.
I can’t wait for Monday’s news
If you go to the rally follow President Biden’s advice and pack a couple nukes in your F-15. Myself I plan on cruising up the Potomac in my all-wheel drive nuclear powered battleship.
After all these months why are we hearing about this now?
How many on the right even known what Tiktok is?
Yeah cause when you go on tik toc are totally over run with righties and not BLM or Antifa
“to what end though?”
To further alienate anyone who might ever entertain the thought of protesting against the Democrat Party.
“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.”
Ha.... Ha.... Ha.... prolly a grain of truth in this as Black Losers Matter and Panti-Fa primarily exhibit this behavior supported in earnest by our very own FIB as well as other alphabets. Getting old paying to be abused by “our own people”. Americans they are not.
“which left five people dead”
that is how every Jan 6 news item begins everywhere around the world.
how about -
which left one Trump supporter shot dead by a Capitol police ofrficer, 3 Trump supporters outside the Capitol dead from natural causes, and one Capitol police officer dead the following day from natural causes.
no gun charges as far I can recall involving any Trump supporters inside the Capitol.
I had read that there was 1 individual that had a gun in the trunk of his car. It was never used... (I think he was arrested for it).
Homeland security, a bush plan from the 9-11 attacks. Would we have agreed to this if there wasn’t a 9-11 incident????
🐄💩.
