TikTok has removed approximately two dozen accounts responsible for posting extremist propaganda on the app.It is the latest controversy for the Beijing-based company, which has come under fire from lawmakers and competitors for censoring content politically sensitive to the Chinese government.
TikTok has removed nearly two dozen accounts responsible for posting Islamic State propaganda videos,first reported. The videos reportedly presented armed ISIS militants, corpses and women proclaiming to be "jihadist and proud." Extremist content is the latest challenge facing TikTok, which made headlines last week after lawmakers and competitors accused the app, which is owned by Beijing-based Bytedance, of censoring content on behalf of the Chinese government. The app has exploded in popularity across the U.S. over the past few months, particularly among teens.
TikTok's rules explicitly prohibit criminal organizations from using the app, but the company says enforcement of such guidelines is a problem that all social media companies face. A TikTok spokesperson said none of the videos had more than double-digit views.
It had to happen sometime. Glad they got rid if them cause I'm sure they weren't hitting the woah.
Oh is that censorship?
