I recently came across a comment on TikTok that stated, "I hate Israel so much and I wish for all those who hurt Hamas to rot in hell. I am so happy they are fighting back and I hope Israel SUFFERS." This comment appears to be in direct violation of TikTok's community guidelines concerning hate speech and is potentially in violation of global legal standards. Yet, when reported, the platform did not find any violations and did not remove it.
Interestingly, when the roles of Israel and Hamas are reversed in a similar statement, the comment is promptly removed. This inconsistency raises questions about the platform's application of its guidelines and its commitment to maintaining a safe and unbiased environment for all users.
