“TikTok has disabled two prominent hashtags associated with the QAnon conspiracy theory” ABC News reports.
“The Chinese-owned video sharing app removed the ability to search for the hashtags mentioning the group’s name and most popular slogan on July 23. The move followed a widespread crackdown announced by Twitter earlier this week, which involved the removal of 7,000 Qanon accounts and introduced restrictions on posting links associated with Qanon theories.”
“The crackdown on QAnon material on TikTok appears to have occurred overnight. A hashtag of the group’s name had over 80 million views on July 22, but returned zero results on July 23, according to research by Samuel Oakford, who works for the social media agency Storyful.”
