STUDY: Tradwife influencers are quietly spreading far-right conspiracy theories
You might not notice it, but your algorithm sure does
“Nearly every tradwife influencer we identified pushed baseless right-wing conspiracy theories and right-wing talking points, often focusing on a general distrust of the government and modern medicine.”
“…interacting with tradwife content can catapult users down potentially dangerous conspiracy theory rabbit holes.”
After liking many trad wide videos, a TikTok account gets recommended more than 300 videos with content falling into “12 categories: conspiracy theory/apocalyptic fearmongering, far-right figures/talking points, anti-government, homesteading, medical misinformation, misogynistic content, racism/white supremacy, Christian nationalism, general tradwife content, ‘other’ TikTok videos, sponsored content, and ‘video unavailable.’”
Because of free speech, the U.S. still stands.
