In what fantasyland is Tiktok uncensored? Tiktok is the whole reason we get screenshots where words like sex, kill, dead, gun, assault, rape, and every swear word imaginable are censored. Tiktok is the reason for euphemisms like "seggs" (sex) and "grape" (rape). There was a time when food content struggled on Tiktok because you'd get shadow banned for having a knife in your video.

those concepts arent the ones americans at-large are being blinded to, nor the ones the establishment american government is worried about

That's irrelevant. The claim was that Tiktok is uncensored, not that it didn't censor the things "Americans at large are being blinded to". If they'll censor one thing, they'll censor anything, as we've already seen with pro-Palestine content.

not talking about palestine, that is just a(n ever more obvious) distraction from problems closer to home

I don't care what you're talking about, your point is nonsense. Tiktok is censored. If they censor one thing, nothing is off the table.
