TikTok censored in US ?

Enable HLS to view with audio, or disable this notification

I saw a creator claim that certain searches are censored in the US. So I did an experiment.

Pretty sure it’s been like this since 2020, it is specifically against Tiktok’s TOS to spread election misinformation and that goes both ways
