"TikTok has made it very clear they want their platform to be this joyous, silly, content app, but they outgrew that so long ago."

"There’s a lot of reporting on TikTok: newsworthy content, activists speaking up about movements. And yet they’re worried they can’t even use the correct language … or they’ll get taken down."

Said When Belle Ives, "a freelance photographer in Los Angeles who uses they and them pronouns," quoted in "Sorry you went viral TikTok’s explosive stardom has created a new kind of celebrity. But nothing goes viral like rage" (WaPo). 

Ives had videos taken down by TikTok. One showed 2 women kissing, which supposedly broke a rule against "predatory or grooming behavior." Another called a Pride Month cake "gayke," which TikTok deemed "hate speech." 

Ives assumed these were simple mistakes. Then, in June, Ives posted a video showing police officers shoving protesters at an abortion rights rally, and TikTok not only removed the clip for “violent or graphic” content, it denied an appeal and threatened a permanent ban. Ives, who has 50,000 TikTok followers and sees the app as a career necessity, believed she had few options but to comply.

I don't want to seem to be part of the overall censoriousness, but, WaPo, you took the trouble to tell us Ives "uses they and them pronouns," and here you are saying Ives "believed she had few options." Either don't go out of your way to tell us about people's pronouns OR tell us and then demonstrate how easy it is to get it right by never getting it wrong. Ridiculous! Right when you want us shaking our heads about social media, you're squandering your legacy and screwing up.

Anyway... I bemoan the censorship on TikTok, and I'm interested in the theory that the censorship is motivated by a desire to make the app feel as though it's all about "joyous, silly, content."* When I scroll in TikTok, I see many different moods, some dark or sad. But I do see the problem with letting violent images just pop up as the next thing in line. I'm sitting around relaxing, getting things fed to me, and I don't expect a political activist to suddenly insert indelible ugliness into my head. If that's how TikTok worked, I wouldn't watch.
