preemptively censoring “Nazi” and “third Reich” on US TikTok so musk can do a fucking Nazi salute during the inauguration (TWICE!) on live TV and people can’t search it or have to find workarounds? yea..
so the first screenshot is trying to look this up on tiktok normally, “donald trump rigged election” and it says that search violates community guidelines.
the second screenshot is looking up the same exact thing, but with a (australian) vpn on. canadian vpn didn’t fix it fyi.
THIS is exactly the type of censorship to be looking out for on tiktok. this actually is crazy.
TikTok is now censoring / removing videos that mention anything anti tiktok / trump or are even remotely political and making it harder for vital information to spread. I have an AUS vpn turned on and get multiple messages telling me to âcheck my sourcesâ before sharing and limiting the amount of people I can directly send the video to. Absolutely fact checking is important, but make no mistake, this change is NOT about stopping the âspread of misinformationâ and more about containing the fire thatâs been lit.
Found this on facebook but reposting to SAVE A LIFE.

This is true! I was writing a fanfiction and found an article that would be a great reference so I sent an email to the professor who wrote it with my .edu email and told him it was for a âpersonal projectâ. Never give upon your dreams kids
tbh, if someone emailed to ask for an article for a fanfic they were writing, it would be the highlight of my career
I know I just reblogged this but I can almost guarantee that if the person youâre emailing is under 40, they will be both aware of the existence of fanfic and will be thrilled to know youâre using their research for it.
