    I’m not a huge fan of big social media, but if there is one thing I trust even less, it’s a banned person’s account of why they were banned.

      I once won a million Robux from my dad, but when I tried to collect them while unrelatedly hiding under a blanket, he got mad and banned me from Roblox, his credit card, and later from talking to that helpful woman at his bank. Some bans are entirely unfair.

        Wow so unfair. You found that credit card in his wallet while he was sleeping fair and square.

    Thank goodness. Make sure to uninstall the app as well so it doesn’t do any more spying on you.

    Good for you, right ? I mean no TikTok sounds awesome to me. Now get rid of Twitter, Instagram and the other stupid social media stuff and you’re pretty much living the dream!

      None of the others come close to tiktok in catering to nice & niche stuff. It’s algoritme sure works and is enjoyable with incredible amounts of daily new interesting content. Sorry, not even reddit nor lemmy come close

    It would have had to been WAY more than Israel/Palestinian issues. Ive seen absolute shit tons of content condemning Israel and supporting Palestine and vice versa. with no filtering of content.

      You people don’t even know what the videos were. Why are you immediately drawing conclusions?

        These are your fellow fediverse users. Videos could be filled with pure hate, but that doesn’t matter.

          Moderation is not censorship. For all we know those videos could show beheadings or call for genocide. TikTok has every right to remove that. Moreover, I think it’s their obligation to remove it.

          Fuck off and don’t speak for everyone. I’m here because Reddit destroyed third party APIs. I don’t give a fuck about your made up censorship temper tantrum.

          Just try not being a bigot and magically, you won’t get your accounts banned and won’t be CeNsOrEd.

            How am I making stuff up or being a bigot? I literally got suspended from Reddit for criticizing Israel killing 10,000 civilians.

          If I remove a comment that tells someone to kill themselves, am I committing censorship?

      It will be as long as it stays open and pure. If enough people come here, it will start drawing attention.

      After that it’s possible they’ll flood it with ads and branding in whatever loophole backdoor way they can concoct.

    Isn’t TikTok run by a Chinese company? I wasn’t aware they had a dog in this race, I’m surprised they care.

    I’d actually consider it more likely that people would be banned for talking about Ukraine. China has invested interest through Russia in that war.

      Actually, part of the deal that allowed TikTok to stay in the US required their US branch to have some US leadership. The leadership that was picked was mostly former intelligence agency people.

    I doubt thats the only video. My entire feed is 80% videos about israel committing war crimes, history of palestine, how israel is funded by the US for its interests in the middle east and to build a canal to no longer rely on egypt

    This will do nothing to stop the idiots who will complain about this from using it. Need proof?

    Just look at what YouTube is doing.
