TikTok CEO Shou Chew records a selfie onstage at TED 2023

and hopes it goes viral. He explained how Tik Tok is unlike the other social networks by relying on collaborative filtering instead of the social graph for content matching. So, their content matching algorithm is all the more important, and they are opaque about it, and he dodged the questions about it (e.g., how they encourage new users to be more popular than they otherwise would, and how they would prevent Chinese gov't interference if they demanded it).
