TikTok users allege censorship after U.S. ownership change

Season 2026 Episode 23 | 6m 16s

Just days after a group of mainly American investors approved by President Donald Trump took over control of TikTok’s U.S. operations, some users now say the app is censoring and limiting their content, including posts and messages about Jeffrey Epstein and the shooting deaths of U.S. citizens by federal agents in Minneapolis. Geoff Bennett discussed more with Jacob Ward of The Rip Current.
