Why you have chosen this article to evaluate?
(Briefly explain why you chose it, why it matters, and what your preliminary impression of it was.)

I have chosen to evaluate this article because it was the most interesting to me, and I have some previous knowledge of it. I have heard about censorship on the TikTok app. I think that the censorship of things on TikTok is important and should be talked about because TikTok is one of the most popular social media apps right now and it can be dangerous and controversial to be censoring things on there. There are more things being censored on TikTok than I've seen on other social media apps such as Twitter. Censorship on TikTok relates back to our course, "Technology and Culture" because TikTok itself as a technology is currently very widely used right now and it has a big impact on our culture by showing people's everyday lives and also influencing people.

The article gives a brief article on the political censorship and censorship of minority groups on TikTok, but does not go much into detail. This article is currently underdeveloped since there is not much content in it. The article gives a short and quick overview on political censorship and the censorship of minority groups such as LGBTQ+, disabled people, and Black people, but these are not the only groups being censored on TikTok, so there could be more added. For example, there are other key searches of minority groups that have been censored on the TikTok app such as "Asian Women". I also would want to add a section about TikTok policies having to do with censorship. Another think that TikTok censors is swear/bad words in the comments, and I think this is a big thing since I've never seen it before on other apps. There is currently only one image on this article, so there should be more added.
