A Chinese-owned version of VideoTwitter -- where you can upload short videos (3-60 looping videos).

A Chinese-owned version of VideoTwitter -- where you can upload short videos (3-60 looping videos). Highly popular, and created with Chinese Government sponsorship and regulatory rules, it has been called a "national security threat to the West", especially amongst armed services personnel because it can convey location, image and biometric data to its Chinese parent.

Examples:

2019.11.27 Detention Camps - A 17-year-olds (Feroza Aziz) TikTok account was temporarily suspended after she talked about Chinese detention camps during a makeup tutorial on the video app. TikTok claims it not because she criticized China (and that "[TikTok] does not moderate content due to political sensitivities"), but rather because of a previous video she had posted, on a previous account.
2019.12.30 U.S. military bans TikTok - U.S. Army and Navy banned Chinese App TikTok from all government-issued devices (and suggest the same for private devices). Australian military did same. A Chinese sponsored App must comply with Chinese regulatory rules, and can not refuse to share location, images and biometric data with the Chinese government.
2020.01.30 Live Action Banned - A pro-life organization (Live Action) has done Journalism by exposing abortion conglomerate Planned Parenthood. Journalism and facts that expose abortion groups was considered “violating community guidelines" for the Chinese controlled social media platform TikTok, so Live Action was perma-banned for telling uncomfortable truths (despite over 21,000 followers).
2020.06.19 Trump Rally Attendance - FakeNews was gleefully reporting that Trump's rally attendance was low because of a TikTok campaign to RSVP and use up all the tickets. Only it was first come, first serve -- so RSVP'ing did nothing but make their projections off. The reason for low attendance was bad weather, and leftists bullying people trying to get in.
TikTok/Banned Trump Videos - TikTok banned Trump videos it judges to “incite” protestors by exposing or claiming election fraud that actually happened.

Orgs with the stated purporse of helping users connect and share media (information) with other users; user-generated content (text, posts, photos, videos), to enable free speech. Because of young woke idiotsin Silicon Valley, they divided the nation (world), by deciding to become the thought police, and censor uncomfortable truths (act as front for the DNC).
