      Excerpts from [article](https://therecord.media/tiktok-russian-state-media-accounts-ban) by Daryna Antoniuk:

      *TikTok has banned dozens of accounts associated with state-owned Russian media, including RT and TV-Novosti, citing security concerns ahead of the U.S. presidential election in November.*

      *The move comes a week after another tech giant, Meta issued a similar ban, claiming the Kremlin-backed media outlets engage in deceptive influence operations. In a statement on Monday, TikTok also cited influence operations as the reason for removing accounts.*

      *TikTok said it had previously tried to limit the visibility of Russian state-affiliated media in users’ feeds, labeling the accounts “to provide important context about the source of the content.”*

      *According to RT, TikTok also removed nearly 40 accounts belonging to the Russian state-owned news agency Sputnik. RT stated last week that TikTok did not explain why the accounts were deleted.*

      *TikTok has not responded to Recorded Future News’ request for comment about how many Russian state media organizations were affected by the ban.*

      It’s gross how many blatantly false posts are on TikTok. I’ve tried reporting a bunch as election misinformation but always get a response from TikTok that the post did not violate community rules. TikTok (China) is in on this and is blocking ‘dozens’ of accounts to try to appear that they are doing something. This is a calculated drop in the bucket.
