Agree on this except I have doubts that this statement is true

It is insulting that a Chinese run social media platform provides more freedom of speech online than its US competitors.

Yeah tiktok is the reason we have words like unalive, I wouldnt call it freedom of speech just incompetent moderation.

Words like "unalive" are a form of doublespeak just to get around the restrictions, it's silly.

I have to admit, it's a bit bizarre seeing so many comments holding up TikTok as if it's a free speech bastion away from western-run social media companies.

Isn't this the one where people started saying "g*y" because there's only one sexuality and Taiwan doesn't exist?
