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.

    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.

    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…
