TikTok Blocked Creators From Using 'Black Lives Matter' In Bios...
TikTok has reportedly blocked users of its Creator Marketplace from being able to use words and phrases including "Black" and "Black Lives Matter" in their bios, flagging the words as "inappropriate content." Ziggi Tyler, 23, who is a user of the app, discovered the function while he was attempting to update his bio over the Fourth of July weekend. Tyler then posted several videos to the app detailing his findings.
In a screen recording, Tyler showed his followers how he repeatedly attempted to include “Black,” “Black Lives Matter,” “Black people," “Black success,” “Pro-Black,” and “I am a Black man” in his bio only to receive an "inappropriate content" error, making him unable to update it.
In the video, Tyler later attempts to add the words “pro-white” and “supporting white supremacy" to his bio. In those examples, he was able to save the content without receiving an error.
