MODERATORS
Yes, only in New Caledonia, and only on mobile. The goal is to prevent the rioters from coordinating on the go.
I didn't know this gen used tik tok as messaging app
Is that really a thing???
Not really a messaging app but it works as a way to spread information about what's happening. Especially through live streams on the platform which people in the protests can use to figure out what's going on at other parts of the protest.
I don't use it but kinda makes sense
