Popular video-sharing app TikTok banned the account of a Chinese international student in the United States after he posted a video making fun of the Chinese regime, a decision he believes is a testament to the platform’s allegiance to the Chinese regime’s censorship rules.

TikTok is developed and owned by the Beijing-based company ByteDance.
