Hello everyone! In this blog, we will be talking about conservatism on TikTok. Since it is an election year both liberals and conservatives are taking over TikTok to gain votes. Both sides post the same type of content they describe current events and new laws and or policies but they do this from the perspective of their respective views.
In an article from the right-leaning news company Fox News right wing tiktokers describe their treatment on the app. The tiktokers say that they have been shadowbanned and even had their accounts removed from the content solely based of the fact that they are conservatives. The author Matteo Cina seems very biased throughout the article he makes the claim "creators can make statements such as "now you know why I hate Christians" or "all white people are racist" without having their videos taken down for hate speech based on race and religion" This has been proven to be false by Tiktok and tiktokers. Tiktokers often talk about how their videos get removed for the simplest of things most of them can't even use profanity. The article also starts off by saying "The Chinese-owned social media app TikTok has often been accused of pandering to liberal viewpoints at the expense of conservative creators." I don't think that this statement is necesacry nor adds any value to the article I feel as though the author added "Chinese-owned" to be a buzzword to conservatives to try and discredit he legiticamy of TikTok. I feel as though this is a slanted article prodecued by Fox News because of the fact that conservatives are trying to get rid of the TikTok app.
What do you think this article means? Do you think this article is slanted and is for right wing consumers?
