Are the free speech absolutists hanging out with the gun rights advocates?
Just a bunch of hypocritical cowards.

Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!
Rules:
- Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.
Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.
Example:
- Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.
- Be civil, No violations of TOS. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
- No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
- Vote based on comment quality, not agreement. This community aims to foster discussion; please reward people for putting effort into articulating their viewpoint, even if you disagree with it.
- No hate speech, slurs, celebrating death, advocating violence, or abusive language. This will result in a ban. Usernames containing racist, or inappropriate slurs will be banned without warning
We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.
All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.
That's all the rules!

You can say whatever you want on social media, they don’t control what you see! - Lemmy, complaining about censored w*rds in social media copypasta here.
The question to ask is if Winnie the Pooh shows up in the Epstein files.
La-Li-Lu-Le-Lo? What's that?

Welcome to the future of free speech. You have it but the communication channels censor it. Say what you like but no one will hear it. Unless of course you quit using that garbage.
TBH the only surprising thing here is that outside the USA users can still search it. Apparently the "US-based" TikTok doesn't need to follow their own rules outside the USA, almost like ByteDance is still the majority owner and the algorithm is still in Beijing.
Wait, wait, i got this one: Its because.... Both Trump and his cronies and everyone in congress not impeaching is a fascist nazi! Points please.
California Governor Gavin Newsom said that he will probe whether TikTok is violating state law by censoring content.
“It’s time to investigate,” he wrote in a post to X
Announcing from the nazi table that it's time to investigate the obvious is quintessential 2000s Dem "leadership" 🤦
If this is because of the government then this is clearly a 1A issue.
Of course not, the CCP does not want to stir up their population.
