Tiktok is the absolute worst at irrational censorship. It’s a shame because the site is immensely popular and that means it is full of very interesting content. Yet, this is far from the first unreasonable thing they’ve been removing. It’s well known how Tiktok users came up with alternative words to circumvent words that were likely to get their content removed (e.g., “unalived” instead of “killed”).
Nah, unalived was being used by gaming YouTubers years before TikTok. YouTube does the same kind of censorship shit.
Tiktok is the absolute worst at irrational censorship
Tell me about it. They literally block access from Hong Kong.
Chinese government spyware disappears content it doesn’t like. This shocking news and more at 11.
If you get your medical information from TikTok you really have far bigger problems.
Its more of an accessibility concern, people shouldn’t be getting medical info fully from TikTok but it’s a good way to disseminate basic info
You should get no information from TikTok. That is all there is to say about it. This is even much more true for medical information.
TikTok users are afraid to say the word “die”; it doesn’t surprise me at all that content that could facilitate literal crimes would be disallowed.
Yet they don’t censor the information on how to steal cars which has caused a widespread issue in the United States with Hyundai/Kias being stolen.
What happened to unfiltered free speech on twitter?
This is an article about TikTok.
You are correct! I dont know what the heck was my brain doing this morning. I even clicked through the article and ran through it and everything and thought I saw some twitter nonsense on there in addition to tiktok.
PSA dont post while still drowsy!
It’s “Don’t tread on me”. Not, “Don’t tread on others”
Whenever TikTok sees something that is remotely negative, they will fight at all cost to make sure it doesn’t exist on their platform. I have seen TikTok videos having to censor the word “orphanage” because according to TikTok that is a no-no word LOL
Would a federated tiktok be possible, imagine it’s got to be easier than a federated youtube.
