Got any evidence for this censorship claim? I’ll even accept dubious screenshots.

The source of this article is “Some Reddit users have speculated” which is like the polar opposite of evidence soooooo try again.

There has been no official announcement that such a change is coming, but Reddit commenters speculated that possibly the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) was requiring a change to stop American TikTokers from using the app to influence Chinese citizens.
