TikTok has removed nearly two dozen accounts responsible for posting Islamic State propaganda videos,first reported. The videos reportedly presented armed ISIS militants, corpses and women proclaiming to be "jihadist and proud." Extremist content is the latest challenge facing TikTok, which made headlines last week after lawmakers and competitors accused the app, which is owned by Beijing-based Bytedance, of censoring content on behalf of the Chinese government. The app has exploded in popularity across the U.S. over the past few months, particularly among teens.
