QAnon: TikTok blocks QAnon conspiracy theory hashtags
Interesting how this stuff is happening just before elections. Could this be the left's way of trying to shut down the right?

It comes days after Twitter banned thousands of QAnon-related accounts.

QAnon is a wide-ranging, unfounded conspiracy theory whose followers support US President Donald Trump.

They believe the president is battling a clandestine "deep state" network of political, business and media elites.

TikTok said it moved to restrict "QAnonTruth" searches after a question from the BBC's anti-disinformation unit, which noticed a spike in conspiracy videos using the tag. The company expressed concern that such misinformation could harm users and the general public.

"QAnon" and related hashtags, such as "Out of Shadows", ''Fall Cabal" and "QAnonTruth", will no longer return search results on TikTok - although videos using the same tags will remain on the platform.
