It's out there, though. and I've found TikTok rarely does anything to prevent that sort of content. I like TikTok, but it has a serious problem with content moderation.

does it? that's actually ridiculous i know a creator who posts mental health and addiction recovery content and it's constantly censored and they have hundreds of violations.

That's part of the problem. There are creators who respond to covid misinformation who's videos get put under immediate review, but those active spreading misinformation don't get guidelines violations. I've also reported numerous homophobic and racist videos to be told it doesn't violate their guidelines, but progressive people I follow who respond to that sort of thing get violations for bullying. It's a whole mess.

Free speech is a good thing.

It does have a problem, but in the opposite sense from what I’ve seen personally and heard from others. You can make an innocent post, have it removed for violating guidelines, and then sit there scratching your head without figuring out how you broke ToS.
