Comment on TikTok is blocking searches for WGA amid the ongoing writers strike

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?

Because everyone else in here can read.

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

Youre keeping it up for the clout

lol. that's a word I haven't heard in a long time. Yes, I definitely love doing a shit-ton of free labor for imaginary internet points. What is this clout and how is it going to help me? When does it unlock some money to pay my rent?
You think i'm indebted to you to do additional free labor because you didn't want to read the article or the blurb. I'm here to help build a community that isn't reddit by sharing stories that might have value to people. Doing that, means making posts and starting useful discussions.
For some reason, the f'n dregs of reddit came over who don't want to do work, but want to complain to everyone else to do it for them. In the past 4 weeks, I've been accused by commenters of so much stupid shit in the last 4 weeks. Today it's passing misinformation because you came into an article 24 hours after it was posted and wanted the title changed (despite that going against the posted rules). The other day it was bias because someone thought i wasn't posting enough news about a tech giant who wasn't generating news. I'm starting to doubt this will ever work because of some of the people here.
