Comment was make to a video about how Taiwan is not a country and PRC only allowed Taiwan to have its own election because it’s a local election not for a country. This is laughable excuse. Anyway, the comment was instantly picked up with their censor and removed. There is no freedom of speech in China. Hence, there is no freedom of speech in their app.
Yes the lack of free speech is well known in China. It's why the flocking of Americans directly to Chinese approved social media is just exchanging one countries propaganda for another.
As an ethnic Chinese, I applaud you. TikTok refugees think fleeing from TikTok to 小红书 is fleeing from US censorship. But they’ve simply fled from a less censored regime to a far more censored regime.
Even before the Trump shenanigans and the pre-censored regime we have now, I’ve always harboured doubts about TikTok: how can China promote an app that it refuses to allow within its own country?
Or to put it another way: would you eat a dish the chef refuses to cook for his family?
你不能使用d这个词
Imagine, the same level of scrutiny being applied now to posts against this current administration.
哈哈，非常好
Stop. Using. TikTok. It’s bad for you.
Lol propaganda
這樓一堆魔怔的老美
Tiktok is not owned by China, it's globally owned.
The comment translated:
It's not that you don't interfere with Taiwan's elections, it's that you can't interfere—you've never been able to. Don't think that just because you Chinese people migrate and spread everywhere, you can boast about influencing the hearts of Chinese people worldwide. I am Chinese diaspora, and all I see is that the Chinese Communist Party is an authoritarian regime.
Claiming election interference is against their TOS, and this comment definitely is in that general area.
