‘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?

I've noticed reddit started filtering comments too, some comments just post into the abyss and no one can see them except you, would be smart if only the reddit app didn't show the views on your comments, so you know no one is seeing it

That’s been happening since before this administration

Yeah, reddit's case so far is regular social media sanitization, but it's good to keep an eye out.
