There is an oddly specific reason for this: just about everything that might be controversial is likely filtered away into bubbles.
People will spell gay as gae, use accent marks and spaces, all sorts of things because not doing so will kill your upload pretty much. Tiktok will remove users from being featured if they look abnormal or ugly or low quality, afaik.
Every social network memoryholes certain kinds of controversy. TikTok's choices make for a more pleasant user experience for many users than Twitter's.
I got a brief suspension on twitter recently for 'harassment' for calling a journalist stupid for analyzing something in a nonsensical way to defend the status quo. Mocking powerful people with bad takes was one of the highlights of the platform and they are taking that away because they are too afraid of losing the bluechecks to another platform (which, to be fair, is probably an existential risk for them in their current state).
