TikTok's Algorithm Silences Fitness Creators: NYC Woman Shares Her Story

TikTok's Algorithm: A Creator's Struggle with Censorship New York City-based content creator, Rachel, recently shared her experience with TikTok's algorithm, highlighting how it restricts certain types of content. Rachel explains that videos related to fitness and showcasing particular body types are often flagged, limiting their visibility and reach. This impacts her ability to share her workout routines and experiences openly. "The algorithm is so sensitive," Rachel explains in her video. "Anything related to workouts gets flagged immediately." This censorship, she says, forces her to self-censor and share more personal content on other platforms like Instagram. Rachel's experience is not unique. Many creators have reported similar issues with TikTok's algorithm, raising concerns about freedom of expression and the potential biases embedded within these automated systems. The impact of these algorithms on content creation and audience reach is a growing concern in the digital media landscape. The discussion highlights the need for greater transparency and fairness in social media algorithms.
