BREAKING: TikTok Permanently Removes MRCTV Account Without Explanation
NewsBusters ^ | 8/1/2022 | Joseph Vazquez and Gabriela Pariseau

The Chinese Communist Party-tied TikTok reached the climax of its lengthy battle with the Media Research Center’s video division by entirely axing it from the platform without notice.

An MRCTV staff member opened the TikTok App to find that the account was “banned” — again — but not before the platform removed five more videos.

TikTok’s latest censor blitz came just three weeks after the platform permanently banned MRCTV on May 26. TikTok reduced the initial sentence from a permanent ban to a weeklong suspension, but one week after the suspension ended, the Chinese-Communist Party-tied platform removed MRCTV. Between Aug. 25, 2021 and June 15, 2022, TikTok censored MRCTV a total of 45 times. Forty-two of those cases were in 2022 alone. When the platform banned MRCTV the second time, the account had amassed over 79,000 followers.

The platform most recently restricted MRCTV from posting any new content and didn’t respond to MRC’s eight attempts to appeal or request comment. Instead of answering MRC’s inquiries, TikTok just decided to nuke the account.

The kids love Tik Tok.

I wonder if they will love the Orwellian dystopian world that is being created for their future.

MRC surely knew this would eventually happen, right?

Too bad. Why didn’t everyone leave those platforms after Jan. 6th? I went on the other alternatives and closed my old accounts.

It would be nice if it said Banned when anyone opened it.

Trump wanted tiktok banned. It should be, but won’t be as long as the decrepit old fool is in the White House - he is indebted to china and will do its bidding.

MRC simply reports on media bias - Tik Tok apparently finds that threatening and intolerable. The relentless attack on freedom of speech continues.
