As someone who used tiktok when he was a meme with the French song, it was a blatant action done against him. They (shadow) banned all the tiktok accounts making edits of him, they modified search results to put the official new sources relating to him at the top, hiding the user-generated content. Note, they did the same thing during the California wildfires to show only verified account videos to hide misinformation.

I think Tate is a grifter, but we really shouldn't let governments or big tech companies to artificially hide content because someone is a controversial figure.

You currently cannot search 'hitler' on tiktok at all. It's all a slippery slope that led to age verification, chat control, etc.
