IIRC, TikTok has (had?) a relatively high-touch content moderation pipeline, where any video receiving more than a few thousand views is checked by a human reviewer. Their review process was developed to hit the much more stringent speech standards of the Chinese market, but it opens them up to even more liability here. I unfortunately can't find the source articles for this any more, they're buried under "how to make your video go viral" flowcharts that elide the "when things get banned" decisions.
