Sure, the ones posting cat videos don't. But what are the odds that TikTok would ever let a Taiwan Protest go viral? I wonder if it even lets use use the word

I wonder if it even lets use use the word Taiwan...
- DiogenesKynikos 2y agoI just looked up #Taiwan on TikTok. There are 3.6 million videos.
- zug_zug 2y agoWell, I looked up Taiwan protest and the 4 I looked at were all allegedly Taiwanese protesting against their own independence.... (For context only 10% of Taiwanese support unification with China per a google search) Would love somebody who has an account (and can translate) to do a sanity check here.

- duskwuff 2y agoA "protest" is implicitly a demonstration by people who are unsatisfied with the status quo. As far as Taiwanese are concerned, Taiwan is already independent, so a protest to support its independence would be a bit redundant - and if there were one, it'd probably be referred to as a parade or a rally, not a protest.
- rKarpinski 2y agoPlenty of topics sensitive topics to the CCP are allowed on TikTok. Being allowed on Douyin is another matter...
- zug_zug 2y agoMy question was whether they are allowed to go viral. Sounds like there's evidence in another thread that they are actively manipulating what goes viral on key current political topics... which seems pretty damning.
- bhhaskin 2y agoIt's crazy how people forget they already have censored activists during China's takeover over of Hong Kong.
