“#Crackdown on QAnon continues as TikTok bans conspiracy theory content<\/strong>”
\n<\/p>\n

\n TikTok is the latest social media<\/a> company to go after the QAnon conspiracy theory.<\/p>\n

The mega-popular video app<\/a> is now deleting accounts that post QAnon-related content, NPR reports<\/a>, an escalation from its previous policy of reducing the visibility of the posts.<\/p>\n

\u201cContent and accounts that promote QAnon violate our disinformation policy and we remove them from our platform,\u201d the company told NPR. \u201cWe\u2019ve also taken significant steps to make this content harder to find across search and hashtags by redirecting associated terms to our Community Guidelines.\u201d<\/p>\n

QAnon\u2019s content often focuses on undocumented claims of a Satanic conspiracy between Democrats and pedophiles.<\/p>\n

TikTok\u2019s move comes less than a week after Google-owned YouTube announced\u00a0that it would ban QAnon and Pizzagate videos that target individuals and groups in order \u201cto justify real-world violence.\u201d<\/p>\n

It also arrives on the heels of Facebook\u2019s decision to\u00a0remove hundreds of QAnon-affiliated groups over concerns that they could threaten public safety.<\/p>\n

The social-media giant said earlier this month that it took down more than 790 groups, 100 pages and 1,500 ads linked to the far-right movement.<\/p>\n

The Chinese-owned TikTok is currently in a battle to save its app from being banned in the US by the Trump administration, which has accused it of spying on Americans for the Chinese government.<\/p>\n

Parent company ByteDance is still working\u00a0to finalize a deal to spin off the app\u2019s American operations.\u00a0The proposal would set up a new US-based company called TikTok Global that would be partially owned by American investors including software firm Oracle and retail chain Walmart, who would have a combined 20 percent stake.<\/p>\n

President Trump imposed a Nov. 12 deadline for the sale, after which TikTok\u2019s operations would essentially halt in the US.\n <\/p><\/div>\n
