Singer Lizzo at the BRIT Awards 2020 - Avalon / Starface

Who wants Lizzo? According to the singer, one of her videos on TikTok has recently been deleted by the social network. And the interpreter of Juice is formal: it's because he appeared in a swimsuit!

That's what she explained in her last video published on the application, in which she sings I Know . “TikTok continues to delete my videos in swimsuits but allows other girls in swimsuits, I wonder why. TikTok… we need to talk, ”she wrote on the video.

Free censorship

For the moment, the management of TikTok has not reacted to Lizzo's accusations. But this is not the first time that the application has been accused of deleting videos without notifying their authors. To avoid online harassment, TikTok would rather get rid of videos that might stir up hatred of stalkers, rather than wage a virtual war against trolls, as journalists from the Guardian and the German website NetzPolitik have already said.

The users most frequently targeted by this video censorship were LGBTQ + people, overweight or disabled.
