Meanwhile, Afghan American Ferosa Aziz , who lives in New Jersey, USA, posted a movie to TikTok on November 23, 2019 that says 'Lecture on how to curl eyelashes'. In fact, this movie is 'make a lecture of makeup and criticize the Uyghur oppression of the Chinese government', and gained popularity to be played over 1.4 million times on TikTok. Mr. Aziz has posted a movie posted on TikTok to his Twitter account.




At the beginning of the movie, Aziz talks about explaining how to curl the eyelashes ...



The content of the story was changed to criticize the suppression of Muslims by the Chinese government.



“No one talks, but this is a kind of holocaust,” says Aziz.



After asking viewers to be aware of the actual repression in Xinjiang Uyghur, Aziz resumed talking about eyelash curl at the end of the movie.



This post caught the attention of many people, but on November 25, two days after the movie was posted, Aziz realized that he was unable to access his TikTok account (@getmefamouspartthree) . In the end, a movie criticizing the Uyghur oppression of the Chinese government was also deleted and it became impossible to watch on TikTok, Aziz said, `` TikTok is my account to prevent the Chinese government's actions from spreading Has been stopped. '




Many people have criticized the TikTok response, but TikTok claims that 'we will not censor content because we have been exposed to politically sensitive issues.' It is an excuse that Mr. Aziz can no longer access the account because of another movie, and that the movie that criticized Uyghur oppression was deleted because of 'human error'.

According to TikTok, Aziz had a separate account (@getmefamousplzsir) before posting a movie criticizing the Uyghur oppression that became a hot topic this time. In this account, a movie containing images of Usama bin Laden , a terrorist leader, was posted on November 24, 2019, and the account was suspended in accordance with TikTok policy. In this movie, Mr. Aziz said that when I was a junior high school student I liked a white man but now I like this person, a photo of a Middle Eastern man is displayed did. As the last of several displayed Middle Eastern males, it is an “Ochi” where bin Laden images are displayed.

Aziz says that this movie is a joke that laughs at discriminatory remarks to himself. `` As a young Muslim who grew up in a white community, I got used to discriminating people, '' Mr. Aziz said, and started posting movies that discriminate against herself with TikTok accounts That's right. Bin Laden's image was just a black-like joke, and of course there was no intention of recommending Aziz's acts of terrorism.



After the previous TikTok account was suspended, Mr. Aziz created a new account (@getmefamouspartthree) on November 24 and started posting the movie again, and at 23:19 ( Eastern Standard Time ) on November 23 Posted a movie. Later, at 3:32 on November 25, TikTok transferred 2406 accounts accessed from devices linked to 'accounts that posted terrorism, child exploitation, spam or malicious content' It has been stopped all at once. TizTok explains that Mr. Aziz explained that his previous account was considered a terrorist account, so the new account that was being accessed from the same device was also suspended.

In addition, although access to the account was suspended, the account itself remained unchanged, but the movie in question became unviewable between 7:06 and 7:56 on November 27 . Again, TikTok argues that 'it was due to human error and was quickly restored and republished on the platform'. TikTok said, “I apologize for the errors that were on our side,” claiming that the task of removing harmful content has various difficulties. “We will work with the community and stakeholders towards the goal of providing a platform that gives users creativity and fun,” TikTok said.

Mr. Aziz said he was surprised that his movie had a great response, and commented, “I am very happy to help spread awareness of the issues that need to be lit.” At the time of article creation, the movie posted by Aziz to TikTok is in a state that can be viewed again, and it is also possible to access the account from the device that Aziz himself used previously.


At the time of article creation, 19 movies were posted on Aziz's TikTok account, including the problematic movie.
