A thread about censorship I’ve noticed so far on TikTok since yesterday: 1. You cannot search videos and users related to “Nazi Germany”, it will take you to a website that is not loading for many users (i support fact checking, but this seems as though it will strip Jewish people of their voices) - ThreadSky

Thank you for sharing this and calling it out. I deleted my TT account yesterday as soon as all of this became obvious. I feel so incredibly unsettled and I don’t know how to engage in resistance. I was focused and calm and now I’m not. I joined here yesterday and I hope connecting here helps.

I’ll continue to add to it! I am no longer posting on TikTok, it’s clear the app is in trumps hands

I’m trying to figure out how to break up with Zuck. I’m just really not in the mood for billionaires to make money off of me being an audience member for fascist propaganda.

2. If you search “ICE trucks” or “ICE trucks ” it will bring up videos of trucks covered in ice. Even though many people are talking about spotting them in Chicago for example

3. Continued censorship of search queries- here is an example in the US vs UK

I personally have not seen ONE video about MLK Jr today, even though over the last almost 5 years I’ve curated an fyp with progressive and diverse voices

I’ll continue to add more as i am aware of them. Feel free to build on this thread with your own observations so people can have them all in one place
