TikTok will remove videos of President Trump’s speech inciting supporters to mob the US Capitol on Wednesday, saying they violate the company’s misinformation policy, as reported by TechCrunch.
“Hateful behavior and violence have no place on TikTok,” the company said in a statement. “Content or accounts that seek to incite, glorify, or promote violence violate our Community Guidelines and will be removed.”
TikTok is also blocking certain hashtags related to the riots, such as #stormthecapitol and #patriotparty. If you try to search for one of these blocked hashtags, you’ll see a page that says the hashtag “may be associated with behaviour or content that violates our guidelines.”
