That was before the blackout. Now a new TikTok has taken its place and everyone is talking about it on there.

This is new, after the blackout. People from the U.S. get a message when searching for things like "vagina health" or "rigged election*". The rest of the world gets results normally.

There are Lemmy users on TikTok?

[–] Nougat@fedia.io 34 points 1 year ago

Imagine that.

I've seen this posted elsewhere. Apparently it also doesn't show results for "Joe Biden rigged election"

[–] AngryRobot@lemmy.world 4 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Thats because they seem to have banned searches for "rigged election" regardless of what other search terms you use.

[–] derpgon@programming.dev 4 points 1 year ago

Well there is only one person who is dumb enough to try to rig an election.

Im on mobile I'll try and re post it when I get home

I think it's because you uploaded (or at least formatted) it as an inline image so when you changed the title the url was replaced.

Edit: lose the leading "!" if you want a clickable link with your chosen text, or leave it there and remove anything between "(" and ")" to have the image appear in your comment directly. In both cases you want the url between "[" and "]"

!()[url of image you want to appear directly in your comment]

or

!(text you want)[url of image or anything you want to link to]

There is speculation that the 2024 election was rigged and it was the most recent election so I would expect that there would be more recent posts about it than the 2020 election.

Shocking

Well…

[–] TacoButtPlug@sh.itjust.works 5 points 1 year ago

So is Instagram, I have read.

[–] PanArab@lemm.ee 5 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Tiktok is ruined. I never used it, didn't like that it was being banned, but perhaps this was part of the deal they struck to get unbanned.

I guess just use a VPN and pretend to be from Mexico. There's some irony in it. Or better yet, not use it at all.

[–] AngryRobot@lemmy.world 5 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Tiktok isn't ruined, it's delivering exactly what it was designed to deliver: Propoganda.

Oh look it's a both-sideser

[–] KiloGex@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago

"Rigged election" and all associated searches don't return results. It's not just Trump.

[–] Linktank@lemmy.today 0 points 1 year ago

Is the insanely slow loading speed from midwest.social part of the censorship?

[–] MITM0@lemmy.world -2 points 1 year ago

So basically a bad conspiracy theory
