"Counter Extremism Project senior research analyst Josh Lipowsky told JNS that while social-media companies such as TikTok have been taking steps to combat bigotry, more needs to be done.
He said that TikTok’s 'comprehensive and specific hate-speech policies … are a step in the right direction for social media,' as 'Twitter, Facebook, and other platforms have also instituted policies forbidding hate speech and symbols based on race, religion, sex, and other protected criteria.'"
