    I’m not sure why people are surprised about TikTok having censorship features.

    It’s Chinese. That would have been a day one feature of the platform…

      all platforms have censorship features. no one is surprised they exist they are surprised/disgusted that they are now being applied to clearly support MAGA goals.

        Iirc on another post some days ago on this issue they said that it was the “rigged election” being the terms censored, not specific to trump.

        Still bad, but yeah.

      It’s Chinese capitalist. [Censorship] would have been a day one feature of the platform…

      There is no such thing as free speech under capitalism. Got nothing to do with brainwashed sinophobia.
