I would have to disagree with you about the anti-queer slant. Maye it's what I've tuned the algorithm to, but I see far, far, far more queer and people of color on TikTok than any media form I have previously encountered.



They can (and do?) definitely firewall US content from China content.


Is this a statement about geography, or language?

Something tells me we don't have too many Chinese nationals living in China on hackernews either.

Or on Reddit. Or Facebook.

In fact, I saw the most content from China.. on TikTok. And since those were dance videos, I quickly skipped them. But I don't know if Chinese-speaking people in the US have the same experience.


Neither. Maybe I was unclear. I was responding to commenters saying "I often see uncensored LBGTQ+ content". I am assuming those posts are hidden from users in China. But it's just speculation!


It's legally mandated. China's version of TikTok is a separate app called Douyin. The rest of the world gets a less restricted version.


Thanks.


I'm not sure how this is terribly relevant. Content would be segregated based on country, geography and language alone.
