    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 don’t understand why it is necessary for you to act as though nothing has changed despite all these organizations now openly aligning themselves with the Trump presidency, and all openly embracing anti-trans and anti-immigrant rhetoric. These platforms were not doing this openly before. Yes it was still happening on some level but not like this.

            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.
