A fast-growing international success, ByteDance's short video platform TikTok is an exceptional case study for examining how digital platforms expand infrastructurally and accumulate power. Unlike most leading social media companies, TikTok is a mobile-first platform (i.e., its web services are auxiliary to its mobile application), and it is not owned by an American or Chinese tech titan-Google, Apple, Facebook (now Meta), Amazon, and Microsoft (GAFAM) or Baidu, Alibaba, and Tencent (BAT) (Kaye, Chen, and Zeng 2021). Yet it has achieved popularity comparable to major players in the social media ecosystem, and now grapples with balancing the interests of end-users with those of 'platform-dependent' institutional actors, including cultural producers. With this thesis, I interrogate how TikTok manages this challenge by studying the platform's evolution through its boundary resources-i.e., the technical tools and informational resources and regulations that facilitate the creation of apps and services in relation to the platform (Eaton et al. 2015). This work serves as a response to calls from media scholars to view platforms as processes and to further social media historiography (Poell, Nieborg, and van Dijck 2019; Helmond and van der Vlist 2019). More specifically, this thesis contributes to the literature on platform studies because it focuses on an understudied aspect of platform power: boundary resources.
