• TikTok was violating guidelines by targeting videos related to pro-democracy protests in Hong Kong last year.
• Besides, it was showing shocking or sensational content like the mistreatment of Muslims in China’s Xinjiang region and clashes at the India-China border.
• China’s parliament passed sweeping new national security legislation. It is for the semi-autonomous city. Hence, TikTok has been facing persistent allegations due to its decisions on content align with Beijing’s priorities.
