#TikTok is really different in China, the #Douyin version, than the US, more educational content, more social pressure to do your homework, 40min limit under 14yr

#Tibetan language #activist Tashi Wangchuk was detained for 15 days - #TibetWatch

#Tibet Watch has learned that Tibetan language advocate Tashi Wangchuk was detained last month on 20 October. The #Yushu City Police Detention Centre released him last Monday after 15 days.

The organisation responsible for his detention was the #CybersecurityBrigade (网安大队).

Tibet Watch obtained the official arrest warrant dated 20 October 2024 by the Yushu City Public Security Bureau, which states that Tashi Wangchuk was given 15-day administrative detention penalty for having repeatedly fabricated and spread, since June this year, “unconfirmed, false, and untrue videos and speeches” that slander and defame the government organs on social media platforms such as #Douyin and #Kuaishou.

#China has #douyin. Which is the same thing as #tiktok but domestic only, because they don't want their citizens interacting with the outside world and getting dangerous ideas

Another "fun" difference: the govt of china only lets their kids watch science and educational videos on douyin. Stupid empty braindead tiktok shit is for laowai children

Edit: sorry, just read your link. It's saying the same thing I'm saying
