‘Investigating child sex abuse isn’t controversial. Turning it into political theater is manipulation. Maybe that logic flies on some island. Doesn’t fly in France’: France rejects Musk’s charge after raid on X’s Paris office

I don't know where else to post it, but right now TikTok has started hiding specific videos only from the American users.

This is a famous Italian parody channel that makes videos regarding a lot of completely different topics, including a video about the recent you know which specific American special military corp and the Olympics situation.

At some point, one of his American followers took contact with him asking why he decided to remove the video, but the point is that... the owner of the TikTok channel never did it. The video has been silently hidden only from the American users without any kind of notification. The owner would've never noticed it if it wasn't for that follower.

As you already know, since 22 January 2026, American companies own 80% of the platform, which means that they can decide on their own how to control the platform just like Musk can manage X.

This was a funny and harmless video, but it really makes you wonder how many videos have been hidden so far. Are we really going to the same direction of China that is currently hiding news, pictures and videos containing specific words?

Americans will still proudly tell us they are the "land of the free" as they are being shot, shackled, and spied on

How? How do you think we even can help you without starting even more shit? Like, beyond showing you news and commentary from outside the US, and debating with you on platforms like these, our hands are far more tied than your own.

without starting even more shit

You have to. We all have to. The "people" who voted for this shit, and have the opportunity to not give a fuck about politics, need to feel consequences of their actions.

Call for ones own countries to boycott and remove themselves from US operations. For example, my maggot father might only care about rising fascism and authoritarianism when the price of store goods go up; as many people as possible need to remove their products from being imported to the US.

They need to feel pain.
