  What's with people not reading?

  From the article which has also been updated in the blurb.

  Update (9/11/23): A TikTok spokesperson told Media Matters that “WGA has been inadvertently blocked as part of the platforms’ protections against QAnon conspiracy theories.” (WWG1WGA is a common QAnon phrase.) The spokesperson added that searches for “Writers Guild of America” and “Writers Guild of America Strike” were not impacted. Searches for “WGA” and related terms now appear to function normally.

    Whats up with OP keeping a post up when the title no longer corroborates the story contents?

        In a world where you can edit the title, cuz Lemmy, you would only leave that title to remain inflammatory.
