Tibetan users of Douyin, the ByteDance-owned TikTok equivalent in China, are complaining that all content in their language is being censored. They say posts in Tibetan – even those without political content about the sensitive Himalayan region – have been deleted.
The censorship, which has not been announced or explained by Douyin, also affects people who earn their living on TikTok, as well as teachers and doctors who use the platform to share information.
