Kevork Almassian@KevorkAlmassianAl Jazeera is abusing copyright law to silence criticism. After I aired a brief clip (under one minute) from a recent interview with Hamas’s Khalid Mishaal and criticized him as a hypocrite, Al Jazeera filed a copyright strike against my channel, Syriana Analysis.

Lani@LanoExeI posted this on my tiktok story 23 hours ago. Usually I would have some views by then. Due to its political nature, all my stories have been forcibly hit with 0 views. TikTok is now fully censored and ownership is in American hands but we won’t be silent. More updates to come

Vera Papisova@VeraPapisovaHello everyone, TikTok is censoring all content that doesn’t kiss Trump’s ass and worship ICE. So unfortunately for everyone including me, I’m here now.2:28 AM · Jan 26, 2026 · 1.11K Views1 Reply · 1 Repost · 17 Likeshttps://x.com/WesDunser/status/2015595222592336220?s=20
Wes Dunser 🌴@WesDunserTikTok removed a text post for violating Community Guidelines. TikTok censorship is anti-American in every way imaginable. "The Penguin is Propaganda", was the text. And that's too much for fascists.

Vince Wilson@VinceWilsonShowHere is TikTok’s own statement. You can’t tell me it’s pure convenience that left wing creators are being silenced on TikTok after it was transferred over last week.
The Tennessee Holler @TheTNHollerUPDATE: TIKTOK IS COOKED. Our @tiktok_us videos went from tens of thousands to 0. (seemingly a direct result of Trump & Bibi’s friends taking over)4:01 PM · Jan 26, 2026 · 160 Views1 Reply · 1 Repost · 1 Likehttps://x.com/TheTyJager/status/2015563796404936888?s=20
Ty Jäger@TheTyJagerStop using TikTok. Besides the brain rot it produces & fucks with your attention spans, actual censorship is happening in an abundance. Especially anti-ICE & anti-Israel sentiment.
BarleyTheBurr @BarleyTheBurrI know this is out of character for me, but I’m speaking up. I made this post (left) on my TikTok story. Less than an hour later, it was replaced with a black screen (right). TikTok is now fully censored by the U.S. government.11:13 PM · Jan 25, 2026 · 868 Views3 Likes
TikTok also conveniently went down during the big snowstorm Sunday, causing more of a mass exodus as creators thought their videos were getting zero views due to censorship. TBD whether they’re right or it was a big tech SNAFU, but no statement from TikTok publicly yet.

Upscrolled taking advantage and growing, but be wary - is it another BlueSky?

Decensored News @decensorednews🚨 UpScrolled (@realUpScrolled) is now the #2 free iPhone app in America, overtaking Google Gemini, Paramount+, and Temu. TikTok and Instagram no longer appear in the top 25 at all. UpScrolled is also now the #1 app in the Social Networking category. https://t.co/wRPshg5gwW6:53 PM · Jan 27, 2026 · 537 Views1 Repost · 1 Likehttps://x.com/dirtbagleft1/status/2015823221346766935?s=20
Post-duopolist@dirtbagleft1Out of nowhere I keep seeing this UpScrolled app popping up on my feed. Can someone explain why I should trust an investor backed company based out of Australia with vague rules for what you can post? Eventually investors are going to want returns and the app will go to shit.
