This is disturbing:
"After the U.S. finalized a deal to move TikTok into American ownership, with a family deeply tied to Donald Trump now playing a major role, the platform appears to be systematically censoring anti-Trump content....users complained they were barred from posting even the word "Epstein" in private messages." (Source: Raw America & CBS)
TikTok has a HUGE user base in the US, and for many of them, it is their primary source of news. So this is a big deal, big enough that Governor Newsom has announced an investigation to determine whether TikTok is breaking California state law.
TikTok itself denies there was targeted censorship, saying the problems were the result of a "power outage" at a data center. Which seems rather odd, given that the issues were overwhelmingly with anti-Trump & Trump-related content. Still, we'll take them at their word for now — but let them know that we'll be watching closely, and trusting that their power centers will avoid censorship and partisan bias in the future.
Tell TikTok: "Stop Blocking Anti-Trump Content"
