## TikTok blocks Epstein mentions and anti-Trump videos, users claim

Authored by independent.co.uk

TikTok users in the US have reported being unable to write the word ‘Epstein’ in messages amid accusations that the social media platform is suppressing content critical of President Donald Trump.

Since the takeover, TikTok users have also claimed that videos about US Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) raids and protests in Minneapolis have also been censored.

California Governor Gavin Newsom said that he will probe whether TikTok is violating state law by censoring content.

“I am launching a review into whether TikTok is violating state law by censoring Trump-critical content.”.

Another Californian Democrat, Senator Scott Wiener, said that one of his videos about how to sue ICE had been suppressed by TikTok.

“This morning I posted a TikTok about my legislation allowing people to sue ICE agents.

The Independent has reached out to TikTok for further information about specific mentions of ‘Epstein’ or ‘ICE’, and what influence the new ownership will have on content moderation decisions going forward. »
