In Figure 6 (described in section 4.4), the content seen by "the control user 50" and "the active user 49" are both in large part by content creator "miakhalifa" (32.4% for the control, 68.6% for the active). The "experimental scenario" is "scenario 28", described as "Follow a random content creator".
Mia Khalifa is a porn actress. A quick search indicates that her TikTok posts are at least sexually suggestive.
I wish I understood what "control" meant in this paper, and what exactly this scenario tested. Does it really mean that a fresh user profile is going to see 1/3 of its feed coming from a porn star? I've never used TikTok so I don't know!
