A think tank’s TikTok account was suspended on Tuesday after posting videos showing Hong Kong police tear-gassing protesters, according to the think tank.
The Acton Institute, which advocates for religious and individual liberty, released a documentary on April 18 chronicling the persecution of Hong Kong citizens by the Chinese Communist Party (CCP), and not long afterward, a video promoting the film was removed by the platform for “violent and graphic content” before being reinstated hours later, according The Acton Institute. On Tuesday, the think tank’s account was suspended from the platform with no explanation, according to Acton’s director of marketing & communications, Eric Kohn.
