A US teenager’s TikTok video clip accusing China of putting Muslims into “concentration camps” has gone viral on the Chinese-owned social network.
The post appears to be about beauty tips at its start – but the young woman then changes tack to ask her viewers to raise awareness of what she describes as a “another Holocaust”.
Feroza Aziz later tweeted that TikTok had blocked her from posting new content, as a result.
TikTok has disputed this.
“TikTok does not moderate content due to political sensitivities,” a spokesman told BBC News. Although, Douyin, the Chinese version of the app, on which Ms Aziz’s posts would not have appeared, is politically censored.
