TikTok said it erred in censoring the Acton Institute’s account and content about a pro-democracy activist imprisoned in China.
The China-founded app offered no explanation for what caused the error leading TikTok to remove content and suspend the account from the free-market think tank Acton Institute.
“The account was removed in error and is available again on [the] platform,” said TikTok spokesman Jamal Brown in an email.
