TikTok did not say it independently concluded the video was hateful. Someone filed a report through the OSA’s mechanism and the platform treated that report as reason enough to act. There is no requirement that reports be made in good faith, no penalty for filing frivolous ones, and no transparency about who complained or why.

Perfect, delete every uk politician video ever.

In before reform accuses TikTok and the government of censorship and rides high on that. Like America during Covid and election season

Umm, but, given the amount of hate speech being spewed by reform, was it a justified takedown? As I didn't see the video, I can't know, but I'm unsure what this has to do with privacy. Speech can be simultaneously political and dangerous, as anyone even mildly familiar with Germany in the 30's and 40's should be able to attest.
