There's no such censorship on TikTok, it's entirely groupthink based on people saying "when I use that word my video is seen less so therefore it's being censored".
Youtube is a lot more guilty of it though, as well as demonetizing.
How is that not a form of censorship? It is direct suppression of certain forms of speech.
YouTube has its problems but I don't think it's had quite as strong of an effect on language.
It sounds like there is a documented policy or proven that TikTok does it. Just people thinking it does leading them to self-censor. Then people see others doing it and copy it. So, I guess it is censorship but not by TikTok.
well_ackshually, tik tok has a well known, long, and rich history of suppressing certain search keywords.
