I tried to do a Tik Tok video about how the online safety act would censor content and it was ironically throttled for mentioning categories that would be censored. I think we ought to try and use different platforms to reach people about digital rights issues but those platforms don’t make it easy to do so. #censorship #digitalrights #algorithm
