Summary

TikTok users reported that searches for anti-Trump content, such as “Donald Trump rigged election,” returned “No results found” messages in the U.S., while the same searches worked abroad.

Users demonstrated via VPNs that the restrictions seem specific to U.S. accounts, sparking accusations of censorship and claims TikTok is becoming “Trump’s propaganda arm.”

Some anti-Trump hashtags also appear blocked, while pro-Trump terms remain visible.

TikTok has not commented on the issue, fueling further concerns about free speech and potential political influence over the platform.
