On American TikTok users cannot seatch the phrase “Donald trump rigged election”, however when using a vpn to a mexican server the search does return results.
but guys, I’ve been assured by Lemmy’s most vocal tiktok supporters that tiktok is the last bastion of free speech. it’s a place where you’re free to express yourself without restrictions.
are you telling me that tiktok lied and those poor people were just paid troll accounts?
That was before the blackout. Now a new TikTok has taken its place and everyone is talking about it on there.
I’ve seen this posted elsewhere. Apparently it also doesn’t show results for “Joe Biden rigged election”
I mean that is a pretty shit conspiracy theory.
Searching “Trump Election Lie” does return results. So I don’t think they’re actually censoring so much as stopping real misinformation.
Shocking
Well…
Heh, funny how that works
I’ll stay on Rednote until our “free” country bans that too to maintain capitalist control of the narrative.
We can talk about Luigi without our “free” country censoring us on our billionaire fascist owned social media, too.
you literally just invoked his name. without restrictions. no retribution.
you are either the best useful idiot, or the worst troll.
Dare you to talk about Taiwan see what happens. Fuck off with this “free” shit.
They don’t ironically gush about being the free speech people.
Yeah that makes moral sense. It’s fine to commit genocide as long as you don’t deny it.
You think we’re still capitalist? Im not sure what to call the economy of this protofascist state but it isn’t capitalist with the amount the new administration is backing specific businesses.
That’s still capitalism. I believe that might fall under cronyism? That, or simply oligarchy would work. But it’s still capitalism.
In capitalism the state is expressly not interfering on behalf of one business versus another. This would be like a communist state that had a stock market. It fundamentally goes against acore principle of the philosophy
Then, the US hasn’t been capitalist in a long time. Probably never was. The government has always interfered in the interest of one group or another. Sometimes, that group is (was) the public at large when it comes to labor or environmental rights. Sometimes, it’s in favor of big business. Oftentimes, it is. Interfering on behalf of one specific big business over another is just the latest step in the road of corruption that has been brazen since Citizens United was passed.
The invisible hand of the free market has never existed. The rich have always been kept in check by government interference.
East India Company?
Imagine that.
Second image failed to load for me.
Im on mobile I’ll try and re post it when I get home
I think it’s because you uploaded (or at least formatted) it as an inline image so when you changed the title the url was replaced.
Edit: lose the leading “!” if you want a clickable link with your chosen text, or leave it there and remove anything between “(” and “)” to have the image appear in your comment directly. In both cases you want the url between “[” and “]”
!()[url of image you want to appear directly in your comment]
or
!(text you want)[url of image or anything you want to link to]
I edited the post, hopefully its visible now. Here it is just in case:
Thanks! It’s fixed for me too.
That works!
