(KGTV) — You may have heard some TikTok users claim they're being blocked from writing the word "Epstein" in their direct messages.
It's true.
Governor Gavin Newsom even posted a screenshot from a user showing the word "Epstein" being cited as a possible violation of TikTok's community guidelines.
Newsom says he's launching a review into whether TikTok is violating state law by censoring content critical of President Trump.
This comes just days after TikTok's business in the U.S. was sold to a group of investors, many with close allies to the President.
In a statement, TikTok says it's investigating the issue, but says it does not have rules against sharing the name Epstein.
