I wonder if they're doing the opposite as well by more prominently featuring pro PRC viewpoints.

The rest of the world has been putting up with platforms censoring and demoting non-usa viewpoints for the past ~20 years.

I welcome a proliferation of platforms with a range of content policies.

I too remember when Twitter widely censored protesting against US police and foreign policy. /s

They censor or demote lots of things considered inappropriate or illegal in the USA - from child grooming to explosives making instructions to content on polygamy to pornography.

They're well within their rights to do this, and lots of the user base thinks it's a good idea. But it would be nice if alternative platforms with alternative userbases were granted the same.

What are you doing? Are you really equating banning child grooming and banning support for a political movement?

TikTok simply bans all politics, regardless of the side. Whether you like it or not, it does not seem very hypocritical to me.
