> Further twitter, reddit, and youtube all censor to a far greater extent than tiktok.
How do we know that, though? I agree that Twitter, Reddit and YouTube "censor" things – though outside of government takedown orders, I'd just call it moderation. But it's not like ByteDance/the CCP publish their own government takedown orders, nor do they have anything similar to the Freedom of Information Act. In the end, we don't know what they could be censoring; we only know what they're not censoring.
