Nuked Tiktok will still let people post’counter speech’ videos that dispute incorrect claims, but will let videos remain on the platform if they condemn violence or if they’re posted by news organizations. Techcrunch was the first to report the news.
‘hateful behavior and violence have no place on TikTok,’ the company said.’content or accounts that seek to incite, glorify, or promote violence violate our community guidelines and will be removed’.
Tiktok is also blocking certain hashtags related to the riots, such as # stormthecapitol and # patriotparty. If you try to search for one of these blocked hashtags, you’ll see a page that says the hashtag’may be associated with behavior or content that violates our guidelines’.
Tiktok joins other social media platforms in restricting some content about Wednesday’s riots. Facebook committed to removing content supporting the storming of the Capitol or encouraging Wednesday’s events.
