California Governor Gavin Newsom accused TikTok on Monday of suppressing content critical of President Donald Trump as he launched a review of the platform’s content moderation practices to determine whether they violated state law.
The step comes after TikTok’s Chinese owner, ByteDance, said it had finalised a deal to set up a majority US-owned joint venture that will secure US data, to avoid a US ban on the short video app used by more than 200 million Americans.
“Following TikTok’s sale to a Trump-aligned business group, our office has received reports, and independently confirmed instances, of suppressed content critical of President Trump,” Newsom’s office said on X, without elaborating.
“Gavin Newsom is launching a review of this conduct and is calling on the California Department of Justice to determine whether it violates California law,” it added.
The White House and TikTok did not immediately respond to a request for comment.
Newsom, a Democrat, and Trump, a Republican, have long been critical of each other.
Last week’s TikTok deal was a milestone for the firm after years of battles with the US government over Washington’s concerns about risks to national security and privacy under Trump and former president Joe Biden.
ByteDance said TikTok USDS Joint Venture LLC would secure US user data, apps and algorithms through data privacy and cybersecurity measures, in a deal praised by Trump.
With more than 16 million followers on his personal TikTok account, Trump credited the app with helping him win the 2024 election.
The deal provides for American and global investors to hold 80.1% of the venture, while ByteDance will own 19.9%.

Who?
Where does Gavin get that nonsense?
I don’t have a TikTok account, but I can’t go on Twitter/X to browse for news without seeing a gazillion nose-ringed, purple-haired Karens or Kyles in their vehicles making selfie videos spewing their pablum for all to see. And they’re mostly reposted from TikTok. 😖
“Look at me! Look at meeeeeeeeeee!”
That doesn’t indicate suppression of anti-Trump posts, though.
The guy who set the Palisades on fire so he could “Reimagine” it in his own commie vision full of low income housing..that resulted in the murders of 13 innocent people
Even if true, which I doubt, the MSM suppressed negative information about Biden and Harris for years. Decades, in the case of Biden.
True.
Don’t cry Newscum. Everything is going to be alright.
Gruesome Newsom is off his meds again.
Trump controls the media, and Hollywood. Just watch the speeches at the Oscars and Golden Globes, they are all MAGA. LOL
Speaking to reporters on the sidelines of the forum, Newsom said Europe could no longer afford to engage Trump as if he respected established rules.
"This is diplomacy with Donald Trump?" he asked.
"He’s a T-Rex. You mate with him, or he devours you. One or the other."
Is that the best attack you can come up with, Sparkle Beach Ken? Ridiculous. Look at the propanda and bias that the Fake News outlets spout.
Get back on the beach and go stare at the surf coming in. The less “governing” YOU do in California, the better off will be the citizens of CA.
Nobody cares Sparkles.
Newsom then had a tantrum about the negative coverage he gets on FRee Republic.
