This seems justified, actually. If the problem is TikTok's algorythm, the only confirmed instance of TikTok censoring people based on it is when it was discovered that they censor 'ugly, poor or disabled people' to attract more users. One of those remarks, while wrong on its own merit, is impossible to correlate to race, and the other 2, when done so, cannot come off as anything but outright racist, even if outsourced to a line of code. So, I say go for it. Though again, I still think people shoul hit them with the China copypasta en masse rather than lightly tap them with bad ratings or hashtags – you have to truly make them worry about it and not just poke them with a stick.
