The “only visible in home country” clause does seem to support TikTok’s claim that they were doing it for the hidden users benefit. It’s hard to say whether or not the policy has a net positive or negative effect.
If you browse the recommended posts page on the app, it’s pretty much guaranteed that you’ll see someone who falls under the named categories from the article (queer, fat, disabled). They’re almost always showered with support and positivity in the comment sections.

It allows the person to use local laws and local policing and even local social constructs. It would actually work. > For people with an actual or assumed disability, this means that instead of reaching a global audience of one billion, their videos reached a maximum of 5.5 million people. This sentence is sad.
- specialp 7y agoI've found the comments on TikTok quite positive in general. Especially with these "vulnerable" groups of people. I think it is due to the younger user base. It seems that people that have grown up with social media nearly their entire lives know how to be more polite, and just handle it better all around.
