It's clearly doing some categorisation to curate individual recommendations rather than simply showing the same trending videos to everyone.

  Of course. I let "some users" do a bit too much work in my previous comment. The point was that they're not doing anything that the other platforms aren't doing. They seem to do a fair bit to identify content that breaks their guidelines. To the point that users often make up alternative terms for sensitive topics e.g. Nazis become Yahtzees/N@zi and suicide becomes unalive. The belief is that TikTok flags videos with these terms and may remove them outright or downrank them in the recommendation algorithm. There's a lot more outright pornography on Twitter and Instagram than TikTok.
