Sweet Anita slams TikTok for taking down her videos over Tourettes tics Twitter: Sweet AnitaSweet Anita has revealed she feels like she\u2019s has been \u201csingled out\u201d by TikTok, with the social networking service continuing to take down her videos \u2018due to tics\u2019 despite not doing the same for other people with Tourettes. Sweet Anita has always been open about her condition. As a teenager, she experienced symptoms of Tourette\u2019s syndrome and was formally diagnosed with a rare form of the neurodevelopmental disorder when she was 24-years-old. It causes her to involuntary swear, utter obscene words, and make socially inappropriate remarks, which has gotten her in trouble in the past despite having no control over them. Despite all that, she overcame the odds and has cemented her place as one of the biggest streamers on Twitch. However, she\u2019s been having TikTok troubles: they keep taking down her videos. Considering the social media giants don\u2019t appear to be doing the same to others with her condition, the Twitch star says it feels like she\u2019s being \u201csingled out.\u201d \u201cI don\u2019t know what to do. TikTok allows other streamers with Tourettes to upload content, but it keeps taking mine down,\u201d she said. \u201cI can\u2019t bleep out my tics without making the clips seem really confusing to the viewer, and I\u2019m unsure why I have been singled out.\u201d Read More: Sweet Anita blasts creepy Twitch viewers – Anita also mentioned that she appeals every time it happens, but since \u201call of the algorithms revolve around views in the first 24 hours,\u201d it effectively \u201ckills every upload,\u201d even when she manages to reverse their decision. I appeal but all of the algorithm revolves around the views in the first 24 hours so it basically kills every upload even when I get the decision reversed. \u2014 Sweet Anita (@sweetanita) May 11, 2021 Some fans assured her she wasn\u2019t the only person with Tourette\u2019s experiencing these issues with TikTok. They believe it has something to do with the moderation system, which could be attributed to either human error or a machine-learning algorithm. Either way, it doesn\u2019t make the problem any less frustrating for Anita. TikTok has not commented on the issue, at least publicly.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
