China-owned social network TikTok is blocking users from searching for the phrase “white lives matter,” following rapper Kanye West’s recent appearance wearing a “White Lives Matter” sweater to his nine-year-old daughter North’s basketball game last week, as well as the Yeezy show in Paris earlier in the week.
Users that search for the phrase, get a “no results found” message, with further details saying that the phrase “may be associated with hateful behavior.”
The notice also states that “TikTok is committed to keeping our community safe and working to prevent the spread of hate.”
