We already know the algorithm won't be the whole story; it already isn't.

There's also a section on censorship in the middle of that FA. My younger brother who does lots of TikTok says that he doesn't see anything about China, good or bad; but he has seen plenty of the stereotypical Chinese anti-USA stuff (coverage on riots, unrest, etc.). But of course that could just be because he doesn't care about China and doesn't view Chinese stuff on TikTok. Anyway, we can't tell anything unless the moderation process and decisions are also made public.
