In transparency will do this.

No one can know what TikTok censors or penalizes in its algorithms. All other social media platforms are equally intransparent, what is new is that TikTok is not American.

TikTok is now owned by an American company. As soon as that change happened, the censorship began.

In this particular case the censoring of anti-ICE post is most likely because TikTok is getting American (read: Trump allied) handlers.
