Kezia Schaffer, neurodivergent and transgender, joins Elijah to critique TikTok’s censorship of "ugly, poor, or disabled" users and suppression of political speech like police criticism. They debate leaked documents showing bias against marginalized groups while shielding China’s image, with Kezia reluctantly suggesting exceptions for pedophiles. The episode highlights Booty Haynes’ 2023 case—exposed after sending inappropriate content to a 14-year-old—and TikTok’s removal of accounts targeting predators. Elijah dismisses Trump’s 2020 ban as ineffective, given Microsoft’s controversies and tech giants’ shared data-sharing practices, yet Kezia backs it for "Americanizing" the platform. The discussion underscores how U.S. tech’s self-censorship mirrors TikTok’s, raising questions about free speech and corporate complicity in global surveillance. [Automatically generated summary]

Guys, they're taking TikTok down.
We're looking at TikTok.

Hey!

The number of people that went live right now was literally insane.
When it got banned, we all had to get like normal jobs.
If I had a choice to ban TikTok or to cure cancer, TikTok would already be off the app market.
Today, we're talking about TikTok, which is getting canceled, along with the cringiest moments that we've found, including why we think it should probably be canceled beyond just China wanting to ban it.
I'm joined in studio with a lovely guest who also is a fan of TikTok.

Anyway, guys, before we jump into talking about these few things, number one, TikTok should be banned because they censor ugly people and here at slightly offensive, we are pro-disability.
Number two, they're a pedo hotbed and they don't care about pedophiles.
Also, they are big on defending China, that and a lot more coming up at first.

So, let's just jump right into this.
So, I don't know if you know this, but one of the reasons why TikTok should be canceled is because do you know that they were actually censoring disabled people and ugly people?
So, before we jump into the fact that TikTok is censoring ugly people, which is really sad because then I couldn't have a career on TikTok, let's go ahead and watch a compilation that I cut up for you guys of some of the really physically challenged people that are on there.
And we're going to talk about why TikTok is taking these people off their website and why this is actually bad for the disabled community.

Do you think I'm cute?
Yes or no?
Yes?
Oh, you're with her now?
Okay.
I guess I'll just have to show you what you're missing.
She's a little bit of hip-hop and country.
And I'm a little more rocking roll.
When you mix in a little bit of whiskey, we sound like a radio.
Because The Intercept wrote a hit article about me, and then right-wing watch Jared Holt, who sponsors domestic terrorism and himself tries to get right-wing people killed.
Jared Holt is a domestic terrorist enabler and tries to kill people.
They're not really reliable, but this is actually a true article about, listen to this.
The makers of TikTok, the Chinese video sharing app with hundreds of millions of users from around the world, instructed moderators to suppress posts created by users deemed too ugly, poor, or disabled for their platform, according to the internal documents obtained by the intercept.
These same documents show moderators were also told to censor political speech in TikTok live streams, punishing those who harmed national honor or broadcast streams about state organs such as police with bans from the platform.
These previously unreported Chinese policy documents, along with conversations with multiple sources directly familiar with TikTok censorship activities, provide new details about the company's efforts to enforce rigid constraints.
This is what's even crazier.
Listen to this.
It says on TikTok, live stream military movements and natural disasters, videos that defamed civil servants and other materials that might threaten national security has been suppressed alongside videos showing rural poverty, slums, beer bellies, crooked smiles.
And one document goes so far as to instruct moderators to scan uploads for cracked walls, and disresputable decorations in users' own homes than to effectively punish poor TikTok users by artificially narrowing their audiences.

So there's this pedo problem because there's this sexual fetish problem.
And I'm going to play this video.
This article came with a video of a girl who, there's a very prominent TikToker who I'm not going to show you who he is first, but she calls him out on a video.
This is viral.
And he's actually in trouble.
They started an investigation into old men using lip sync battles to target young girls.
Check this out.
This will take me a second to start.
unidentified
For everyone that's confused, I don't know how you missed all of this, but I'll explain it anyways.
Buddy Boudet, whatever, talks to girls from the ages of like 12 to 15.
He messages them on Instagram with very lewd videos and lewd messages and pictures, etc.
Basically, lewd means sexually suggestive.
Basically, he's a pedophile and who has been messaging multiple 14-year-old girls in various other ages under the age of 16 with really inappropriate videos, messages, etc.
Just a whole lot of shit.
A group of people, including myself, called him out on it.
Like some people, you know, when you see a girl and she's got like a head shaved and like crazy colored hair and piercings everywhere and you go, hmm, I reckon she's probably a feminist, right?
So there's this problem that TikTok has a predator problem.
And I know it's not fair to say that they just have a predator problem because everybody has a predator problem.
America has a predator problem.
Right.
But one of the things, this guy says, like, Liz had been collecting creepy TikToks on an Instagram account for several months when she posted a series of videos.
Liz had been collecting creepy TikToks, blah, blah, blah.
Now 27.
Haynes, known as the app as the boudet, pronounced the bidet, first gained notoriety on TikTok when a video in which he danced to good girls, bad guys, by the scream of band Falling in Reverse was featured in some cringe compilations created by big YouTubers.
He quickly became a viral sensation.
But he began texting girls and Haynes ended up messaging a 14-year-old on Instagram, the teenager now 15, who asked to be identified by your screen name.
That's this one here.
This girl.
If she thinks he's attractive.
Then he asks her how old she is.
When she tells him that she's 14, Haynes continues the conversation saying he wishes he could be in a relationship with her.
He sends her dozens of videos of himself, many where he's shirtless, licking his lips and kissing the camera, which, by the way, are his TikToks.
Yeah, so they were like not only not taking action against pedophiles, but they were like removing accounts of people who were hunting pedophiles because you know why?
Because they apparently, according to this intercept article, China doesn't want anything that can make China look bad.
And so the idea of acknowledging pedophilia on the website could make China look like it's like has pedophiles.
No, I also don't think it's going to really make a difference.
I think it's going to be banned.
Like musically is TikTok.
And then that went out and TikTok and then like Vine is like the same thing.
Like all these like apps that kept coming along and then disappearing, it's all the exact same thing where like anyone can get famous by just like making like little things or singing along or whatever.
So ban TikTok, who cares?
The people who are like famous on TikTok will be like sad about it.
But it was like 30 seconds of fame anyways.
And then a new app will come along.
Everyone will jump on board and so it will begin again.
That's why I said that President Trump on Thursday invoked his emergency economic powers to impose broad sanctions against TikTok.
So within 45 days, basically somebody has to buy it because this company Byte Dance, I'm sure you guys all know these stories.
They might sell data to China.
But I don't really know if it's a big deal because when you go down there and practice, experts told NPR, the order likely will mean the viral video service could no longer receive advertising from American companies and that the app could be removed from Apple and Google's app stores if they don't sell it to Microsoft, which to me is really not that much better because Microsoft in itself is associated with Bill Gates, even though I think he retired and he's on the board only.
And there's a lot of controversy there with forced vaccinations around the world.
And we know you're not a fan of vaccines that much, but I'm a fan and I'm a fan of you, but I'm also a fan of vaccines and you're a fan.
But still, I like that Trump is really trying to like make things more American and like stop trading with China and all these countries and trying like bring everything into the country.
Yeah, well, I'm sorry to ruin your dreams, but eventually you'll have to just spend time with your husband.
Wouldn't want that.
Anyway, guys, let us know your thoughts on TikTok.
We're going to keep this up.
I know that I promised you guys that I'd have part two of the doctors, and I had to make this video last minute because everything's getting banned online.
So those videos are going to be available on Tuesday at blazetv.com slash slightly offensive.
Use my code Elijah.
But for the rest of you guys, please, as always, support our sponsors, Black Rifle Coffee and Tommy John, for keeping this show running and possible and all the trips.
Thank you guys so much again for watching and may God bless the United States of America.
