    I honestly don’t like tiktok but this is clearly done to censor the pro palestine content and for exposing the US gov along many others as hypocrites

          Ah yeah. I deserve that but to be fair the OP story (not the comment I replied to) is about what’s happening in the US!

        True, I remember talks about it being acquired by a US company but I think this really pushed it over the edge for them
