The Washington Post says it's almost
impossible to find videos of Hong Kong's
pro-democratic movements opposing
Beijing's regime on the app.
The Guardian is then.
Which
reveals facts to the least surprisingly, regarding the
moderation policy of the Chinese social network.
We got,
uh, among other, leaked documents, which actually
described TikTok's internal moderation rules
that explained that some political content,
including, if they mentioned to me, uh, the demonstrations
in Diane Men Square.
So in honor of people who are ugly
or poor, it was explicitly uh said this.
So this is
content that will be moderated by TikTok.
Are also
particularly monitored the content related to
Tibet's independence, the situation in Taiwan,
President Trump, Putin, Kim Jong-in or the
LGBT community.
Moderators receive extremely
clear guidelines in terms of topics to be banned.
Or
in any case, to make it invisible.
Some of there continent
modération or I wit put censorship moderation
guidelines matched the those regulations that had been put
out by the Chinese Party state almost you know identically.
So
there was certainly at that point in time a very close
connection between what the Chinese Communist Party wanted
and TikTok which was a Chinese app that was operating outside
of China.
