TikToker Highlights Censorship, Links it to Anti-Blackness and Government Control
In a recent TikTok video, Taneka Collins (@funnybear47) detailed her experience with censorship on the platform. Collins, a Black content creator from the US, explained how she was unable to comment on certain videos, while simultaneously able to comment on others. She attributes this to the nature of her content, which frequently touches upon anti-Blackness and government control in America. "Last night I couldn't comment," Collins stated, "My app wouldn't load or anything." She further connected this experience to the larger issue of information control, noting that despite attempts at censorship, the information continues to spread. Collins's video highlights the challenges faced by marginalized voices in the digital sphere and the ongoing struggle for free expression online. Her experience serves as a case study for the complexities of online censorship and its impact on public discourse.
