2019.11.27 Detention Camps

A 17-year-olds TikTok account was temporarily suspended after she talked about Chinese detention camps. A 17-year-olds (Feroza Aziz) TikTok account was temporarily suspended after she talked about Chinese detention camps during a makeup tutorial on the video app. TikTok claims it not because she criticized China (and that "[TikTok] does not moderate content due to political sensitivities"), but rather because of a previous video she had posted, on a previous account. ℹ️ Info           ~ Aristotle Sabouni Created: 2020-01-31

The prior account+post referenced late terrorist leader Osama bin Laden. (It was her phone that was blocked because of that, not the account).

It appears that TikTok was in the right, but sane people are highly leery of trusting Chinese controlled social media. Even if they don't always act like tyrants, they reserve the right to.
