Why are you talking about photos? The word "footage" refers to video, and I was replying to a post which said specifically (emphasis mine):

> Another possible explanation for this skew is that TikTok and IG are primarily *video* platforms [...] The *videos* of destruction and death in Gaza are far more horrific than corresponding *videos* in Israel

TikTok's "Community Guidelines" [0] read:

> We do not allow gory, gruesome, disturbing, or extremely violent content.

If a video depicting torture and killing wasn't taken down, either the poor moderators stuck viewing all this stuff just hadn't gotten to it yet or it was a failure in some way to enforce the TOS; not an indication that the TOS allows it.
