Summary
TikTok users reported that searches for anti-Trump content, such as “Donald Trump rigged election,” returned “No results found” messages in the U.S., while the same searches worked abroad.
Users demonstrated via VPNs that the restrictions seem specific to U.S. accounts, sparking accusations of censorship and claims TikTok is becoming “Trump’s propaganda arm.”
Some anti-Trump hashtags also appear blocked, while pro-Trump terms remain visible.
TikTok has not commented on the issue, fueling further concerns about free speech and potential political influence over the platform.
But that’s the claim the article is making. If the article was asking why one search phrase was stopped then sure. But I made those other searches because the article specifically claims Fuck Trump is unsearchable and broadly claims you can’t search anti Trump stuff. This is directly disproven.
And Trump’s remarks are no different than any other 80 year old talking about how their grand kid is good with the computers because they deleted the 15 browser bars dragging the system down.
I don’t care if you downvote me, I’m not going to stop speaking truth.
Is your grandpa also the most powerful man on the planet?
At a certain point an 80 year old man is just an 80 year old man.
Not when they’re also the most powerful individual on the planet.
Yeah, and that point isn’t when he’s just been elected a second term as President of the United States…
LOL the article specifically notes that it varies between users sometimes. your screenshot doesn’t even use the #fucktrump which is specifically what is referenced in the article.
i generally downvote comments that are misinformation or unhelpful to the conversation; yours are both.
do your methodology right and i’ll give you an upvote next time.
No, the article says if you misspell something it goes past the filters.
you’re funny
