The difference here is that TikTok did not enforce censorship on content related to the genocide in Palestine, nor did it have a right-wing bias in the algorithm like, say, Twitter does.
This shift in censorship puts TikTok in line with Twitter and Facebook/Instagram on the propaganda narrative that they want on their platform. Which is a massive issue for anybody left of white supremacists who cares about free speech and facts.
looks at how they promote AfD influencers in Germany, and how they promoted targeted videos to try to elect a neo-nazi in Romania
It doesn’t have what?
Well arguably it has whatever-destabilizes-the-country-the-most bias, but for most of the western world this mostly means they have a pro local fascists bias.
I’m not an American national. Just a trans person. I wonder why it would matter to me when all major social media websites start allowing people to call for genocide against my community.
You’re right, that would be a concern if I felt important enough for China to give a fuck about me and what I have to say as a foreign national. Too bad that me only exists in your imagination and the real me understands that the world does not revolve around their travel and internet activity.
Yes, you’re right. “This population under a genocide should liberated” and “Chinese man is yellow bear lol” are equivalent forms of conversation. Absolutely heroic.
equal as much call for violence “Free Palestine” as in “Liberate Hong Kong”
No there fucking isn’t. First of all, Hong Kong has been a part of China a great many centuries before the US had started their first genocide (and boy did they start early) and was wrested from them by colonial violence, like Palestine was wrested by the colonizing Europeans. Violence of the oppressed isn’t equal to the violence of the oppressor as much as libs like to clutch their pearls about it, the most unspeakable violence is what’s happening BY NOT FREEING PALESTINE.
“Free Hong Kong” coming from fucking westerners is as disgusting as “Free Panama” was and “Free Texas” way back when. It means “free to be looted by US” and fuck everyone who still does the legwork for imperialists.
You are a profoundly unserious person if you equate the 100 year lease of Hong Kong, that was signed at the point of a gun, ending for the Brit*sh and ownership reverting to the Chinese with the genocide of the Palestinians by the settler colonial state.
You’re just being a vulgar imperialist. I didn’t read further.
Laughing at your mental inferiority aside, you’re a gutless fucking coward for just using that as an excuse to not engage with WHY your opinion is worth throwing in the garbage bin, which I articulated perfectly well enough to respond to if you had the will or ability.

Oh please Mr enlightened one, explain to me how pointing out that Chinese censorship is a real thing that exists is actually “Nazi propaganda”, I eagerly await your intelligent and well reasoned response.
Hey look the nazi is being dishonest so as to argue in bad faith. Wow. Totally not apropos. Apparently they get to assign me a proper reasoning that I have to prove instead of allowing me to have my own reasons.
You spread nazi propaganda created by nazis to disparage the historic enemies of nazi germany to this day. And that propaganda being created in the first place to downplay the holocaust, you are a holocaust denier. You are a nazi.
You keep making this accusation, but are apparently incapable of actually telling me what has been said that is “Nazi propaganda”
And calling someone a “holocaust denier” for non existent reasons is completely meaningless when you yourself deny multiple genocides.
And yeah it’s not a discussion. It’s me talking to myself while some angry loser shouts random insults in a desperate attempt to make themselves feel morally superior to random on the internet.

That’s a very American national-solipsistic view of TikTok.
I’m not an American national. Just a trans person. I wonder why it would matter to me when all major social media websites start allowing people to call for genocide against my community.
TikTok has been promoting trans-genocide in several European countries for years.
It was like two months ago tiktok was used to get a random hard right guy to win the Romanian elections
You should be concerned about this if you live in China.
I would imagine you would also want to avoid getting on their list if you ever wanted to travel to there as a tourist.
You’re right, that would be a concern if I felt important enough for China to give a fuck about me and what I have to say as a foreign national. Too bad that me only exists in your imagination and the real me understands that the world does not revolve around their travel and internet activity.
Or if you apply for a visa!
I’m not following the logic, do they censor content differently based on the country of the account holder??

It does not matter that China censors because TikTok users live in the West.
Yes, you’re right. “This population under a genocide should liberated” and “Chinese man is yellow bear lol” are equivalent forms of conversation. Absolutely heroic.

Hey look it’s a stalker.
No, it’s just the guy incoherently screaming insults at random people for no reason stands out like a sore thumb.
Repeating nazi propaganda is a fine reason to call someone a nazi
