There’s certainly a larger anti-zionist crowd on the app, but western tiktok is 100% still run by neoliberal ghouls

I’ve reported blatantly fascist stuff on the platform before; a comment saying race mixing is immoral, a comment saying desegregation ruined America, a video saying Gaza should be turned into a parking lot, and I’ve ALWAYS ended up getting the “we’ve reviewed your report and found no violation” thing. Exact same shit I’ve gotten with Instagram, Reddit, and pre-Musk Twitter

Meanwhile today I commented this at a The Strokes fan with an Israeli flag in their name, and fully ratio’d them before getting this notification a few hours later:

    Also, isn’t it the most neolib thing imaginable for the government to manage its censorship regime through what is essentially a web of public-private partnerships with companies like Google.

    Nah, there’s still a government agency overseeing all those public-private partnerships. Peak neoliberalism would be introducing a market-based system where the government pays out bounties for reducing discussion in specific topics, opening up room for independent traders to swap those bounties based on their differing strategies for how to pay off private media companies in yet another market where the companies charge for censoring certain keywords or sentiment clusters.
