Someone Should Make An Account To Test Out If The Censoring On TikTok Is Really As Bad As It's Rumored To Be Atp - Tumblr Posts

Update on this: I'd commented on a TikTok just yesterday where the creator was talking about how censoring on TikTok is stupid, and how it waters down the situations that are actually going on.

The comment I left on the TikTok featured words such as kill, rape, and porn without any censoring, and I have yet to receive any warnings about it.

Maybe it has something to do with the app picking up on the words used in certain contexts ( fx. threats, ) but you can certainly say them in some cases either way.

I was rereading my previous post about the TikTok censorship culture/thing, and it made me wonder what part of it isn't actually censorship, but in reality the algorithm doing it's thing.

I mean, it's already known how flaky and unreliable the TikTok censoring is at times, and also known that the algorithm on TikTok can get really specific, too.

So if that's the case, who's to say that the censoring "trend" isn't just people engaging more with the censored content, which then pushes more censored content to those people?

Who's to say that it isn't because they use those censored words in comments/videos, which is then picked up on by the app, and then has the algorithm show more content using that language to them?

Watch time could also be a factor since TikTok also picks up on that. So if a word like "rape" makes a person uncomfortable and scroll as a result, then that could also affect it in one way or another.

I don't know lmao maybe I'm just reaching, or this is a really obvious thing I'm realizing only now.
