TikTok #intersex hashtag 'censorship'

TikTok users noticed that the #intersex hashtag keeps disappearing on the platform, raising questions about possible censorship of intersex people.

According toThe Verge, TikTok does not list banned words and phrases in its community guidelines, and did not make a public statement about the removal, leaving users to speculate whether they were being censored.

TikTok later claimed the tag had been removed by mistake. 

TikTok also stood accused of limiting the reach of posts by LGBTQ, disabled, ugly and poor people, and of suppressing Black creators.
