Shutdown of Jimmy Lai filmmakers TikTok account reversed after censorship outcry – Catholic News Agency
Kohn said in the first week TikTok removed one of the videos for violent and graphic content. He said the video showsHong Kong police teargassing and beating protestors in the streets.
We appealed that decision, noting that this content had been shared on numerous other social media platforms without any problems, Kohn wrote, adding that the video was restored in a few hours.
Then on Tuesday Actons account was abruptly shut down, he said.
No notice was given to us. No warning was given. No explanation was given. But we know why, Kohn tweeted. TikToks paymasters in the Chinese Communist Party dont want people to hear the truth about #Jimmylai and #HongKong.
Kohn tweeted Wednesday night that Actons account was partially restored but noted that two of its videos had been removed for violating community guidelines.
Lai is a 75-year-old media tycoon, Catholic convert, and outspoken pro-democracy activist. He is in prison in Hong Kong for participating in a vigil there marking the 1989 Tiananmen massacre in Beijing, as well as for a fraud conviction in December 2022. Lai is scheduled to go on trial in September on additional national security charges and could face a maximum penalty of life in prison.
