It varies from region to region. The problem with TikTok is that, the western version seems to have very different content / moderation than other parts of the world.

I'm in south east asia, the amount of homophobic content that's tied up with anti-semitism (accusing jewish people of pushing LBGTQ+ propaganda) is nauseating. I've reported so many of those posts, plus the typical 'here are media companies, and Israeli flags on them' or 'the Austrian painter was right / didn't finish their job' posts, but they always come back as 'No Violations'.

It's frustrating, because the US / European versions are very progressive, but for the other parts of the world, it's being pushed towards far right extremism.

You do realize you’re getting fed that content because you interact with it, right? I get the odd run of uninteresting content, too; I don’t interact with it because it’s not what I want to watch.

Nope, I don't interact with them outside reporting them.
