Musician and actor, Kabomo has taken to his Instagram page to warn his fans about the popular video-sharing platform, “TikTok“.
However, Kabomo who claimed the platform is “racist” said there are a lot of negative attention surrounding TikTok lately and for a bunch of different reasons.
He, therefore, urge black people to leave the platform.
He went further to state that the social media platform is definitely under scrutiny.
Kabomo has gone on a TikTok boycott over the fact that the platform decided to filter Black Lives Matter movement contend.
He feels this is a racial attack that needs to be noted.
When TikTok started sifting content, peeps felt it was a form of censorship and started making it known.
TikTok tried to cover it up by blaming it on technical issues, however, no one was falling for it.
Kabomo explained how he sees TikTok as a racist platform not only because it sifts Black Lives Matter movement content but because it allows for racial content to be made.
“TikTok is racist. The two white college students who made that racist video … they did it on TikTok. Did TikTok remove it? No. But do you know what TikTok did do? Block anything with the hashtags #BlackLivesMatter and #GeorgeFloyd on it.”
Taking to social media, Kabomo urged his black followers to ditch the platform and make it known that what they are doing is not okay.
“Black people get off TikTok. Stop making them money when it is clear that they hate you.”
Kabomo went on to let his followers know that TikTok uses facial feature recognition to filter your content. So, if you are of colour, they will show you what you want to see but that does not necessarily mean they are backing the cause.
