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?
This is new, after the blackout. People from the U.S. get a message when searching for things like "vagina health" or "rigged election*". The rest of the world gets results normally.
*Edited.
well not anymore
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"
Heh, funny how that works
I'm suspicious that the ban would have been upheld if everyone jumped over to Twitter. But the scam failed when everyone went to red note.
I guarantee people are right back on tiktok now that it's back up.
Plan b extort TikTok to do propaganda.
Plan A is do propaganda.
The apps are chapters on that plan. Meta will follow, bluesky might when somehow it's threatened with a ban.
Shocking
Well…
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:
That works!
Thanks! It's fixed for me too.
That's disfavorable of Trump? I thought it was one of his main talking points.
I guess it would be disfavorable if it referred to 2024 rather than 2020, but claiming 2024 was rigged doesn't seem to be a big thing so I expect that most of the search results would have been about 2020.
There is speculation that the 2024 election was rigged and it was the most recent election so I would expect that there would be more recent posts about it than the 2020 election.

Why would Trump say that!? I think it's just him being incoherent, but it would be a confession from anyone who isn't regularly so incoherent.
Edit: Maybe Trump meant to say that he won because Musk protected the machines from tampering?
He knows that even if the election was confirmed to be rigged, there’s nothing that will be done about it at this point.
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.
Is the insanely slow loading speed from midwest.social part of the censorship?
