TikTok instructed moderators to suppress posts by ‘ugly’ and poor users

Internal documents, published byThe Intercept over the weekend, show that the social network instructed moderators to not promote videos from users who had ‘ugly facial looks’ such as scars, too many wrinkles and fangs to the app’s ‘For You’ page. Getting a video highlighted on that page could help a user attract more views and followers. Users who had an ‘obvious beer belly’ or shot their videos in a ‘shabby and dilapidated’ environment such as a slum might have also been excluded from the page.
