TikTok says a viral video of a girl criticizing China's treatment of Uighur Muslims was temporarily removed 'due to a human moderation error.'
CEO Mark Zuckerberg, who claimed the app censored users posting about pro-democracy protests in Hong Kong. However, TikTok has denied it removes content from the app over "sensitivities around China."
The firm further explained that it locked her out of that new account due to a "scheduled platform-wide enforcement" action. It said moderators banned 2,406 phones associated with accounts that had been blocked due to breaching content guidelines. The clip in question, which has over 1.5 million views, shows the U.S. teen pretending to do an eyelash curling tutorial, only to then urge other TikTok users to "search up what's happening in China." In the video, Aziz refers to the country's treatment of the Uighur community as a "holocaust."
