'Censorship and propaganda in real time': Trump's alleged TikTok censorship seemingly hits right away

^{Published on 2025-01-21 10:41:13 - MSN}

U.S. TikTok servers went down for roughly 12 hours over the weekend, starting on the night of January 18. American users are now reporting a spike in censorship of political commentary and criticism since the app has been back up and running in the States,

The article from MSN discusses allegations that former President Donald Trump's campaign videos on TikTok are being censored. Following Trump's announcement of joining TikTok, his campaign videos reportedly experienced significant suppression, with views dropping dramatically from millions to just a few thousand. This situation has led to accusations of censorship and propaganda, especially given the timing which coincides with Trump's criticisms of TikTok's ownership by ByteDance, a Chinese company, and his warnings about its potential security risks. The article suggests that this could be an orchestrated effort to limit Trump's reach on the platform, highlighting concerns over free speech and the influence of foreign entities on American social media. It also touches on the broader implications of such actions in the context of the upcoming election and the ongoing debate about TikTok's operations in the U.S.
