Social media app TikTok apologizes for temporary removal of a video that criticized China’s treatment of Muslims by brendagoh_
SHANGHAI - Social media app TikTok apologized to a user on Thursday for removing a video that criticized China’s treatment of Muslims, blaming a “human moderation error” and saying the images had been restored within less than an hour.
In the video she posted last week, the user, who identifies herself as Feroza Aziz, gave a tutorial on eyelash curling, while talking about how Muslims were being treated, and saying she wanted to spread awareness of the situation. But it added that it required Chinese firms to operate in a way that respected international norms and local laws and regulations, and hoped that relevant countries also provided a fair and non-discriminatory environment.The user did not mention Uighurs in the video, but said later on Twitter she had been referring to the minority ethnic group.
