  TikTok is now state-controlled media. This morning I posted a TikTok about my legislation allowing people to sue ICE agents. It's sitting at zero views, and I'm not the only person this is happening to. [image]

  After several celebrities said TikTok was limiting their videos about ICE, the platform responded, blaming the issue on an ongoing power outage at a U.S. data center.  “Since yesterday we've been working to restore our services following a power outage at a U.S. data center impac…

  Oh look ! The US took over TikTok a week ago and all of a sudden you can't post anything with the words “ICE” or “Epstein” in it ... 👇 ... and to think they came over here lecturing us Europeans about our - alleged - censorship [image]

  It's time to investigate. I am launching a review into whether TikTok is violating state law by censoring Trump-critical content.

  BREAKING: After Trump's allies took over TikTok this week, any mention of “Epstein” in DMs are not permitted. Here's proof. Anyone else is free to try it. [video]
