    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.

      nor did it have a right-wing bias

      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.

          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.
