Chinese-owned app TikTok, which is being scrutinized by U. S. authorities over concerns about censorship and data handling, blamed a 'human moderation error' for the removal of the video.
: TikTok has been forced to apologize for suspending a teenager, who shared videos highlighting human rights abuses in China, at a time when U.S. politicians have called for a review Chinese tech firm ByteDance’s ownership of the hit app over security and censorship concerns.
But the video was removed from the Chinese-owned platform for exactly 50 minutes on Wednesday. In a statement, TikTok apologized and blamed the move on a “human moderation error.” Here is what TikTok claim happened: Aziz, who has had more than one TikTok account, had her first account suspended on November 14 after she posted a satirical video containing an image of Osama Bin Laden. TikTok says that the video violated its guidelines on terrorism-related imagery.
On November 25, TikTok says it enforced a device ban on more than 2,000 devices linked to accounts that breached its guidelines, and they say that Aziz' phone was swept up in the crackdown due to her earlier account ban. The move left Aziz locked out of her new account, but the account remained active.
