TikTok does this censoring
Instagram too, hardly a Chinese problem
I had never seen that prior to TikTok doing it
TikTok may have been the first to do it, but now the genie is out of the bottle
imho Chinese platforms censor their words too much. you might not have seen it, but the users self censor words like death, suicide, sex, and stuff like that.
Annoyingly self reported chinease users I used to talk to would go dark after mention a certain square, tanks, and massacre. Since the push for misinformation instead of censorship its been less common but it also just seems like there are less people from China in my internet social circles now too. :/
And somehow the youth loves it anyway.
What happened to rebellion, kids? And you even have shit to be mad about now.
S***
Nobody will force you to use TikTok.
And yet I'm seeing more censorship on the internet due to draconian censorship rules on places like TikTok, despite not using it myself. Almost as if the point you're making doesn't mean anything to the conversation.
And? I'm simply explaining that this video undoubtedly came from there. But even if it didn't, this censorship of super mild words on the Internet never existed before TikTok so it's clearly influenced by them, ie China
Cool. Everyone else uses tiktok, so all the content even off tiktok gets made for it and so its rules affect all of us. Do you think you just fell off a coconut tree?
Except all the many many people who don't.
