but guys, I've been assured by Lemmy's most vocal tiktok supporters that tiktok is the last bastion of free speech. it's a place where you're free to express yourself without restrictions.
are you telling me that tiktok lied and those poor people were just paid troll accounts?
This is new, after the blackout. People from the U.S. get a message when searching for things like "vagina health" or "rigged election*". The rest of the world gets results normally.
*Edited.
That was before the blackout. Now a new TikTok has taken its place and everyone is talking about it on there.
well not anymore
