President Trump is warming up to TikTok, although it isn’t necessarily mutual: The platform is less receptive to his stolen-election claims — and content about alleged election fraud in general — than other major social-media platforms.

Posts that include the hashtags #RiggedElection, #VoterFraud, #StopTheSteal, or #StolenElection are inaccessible in the U.S. on TikTok but are available on Instagram and Twitter/X, according to a new comparative analysis performed by The Network Contagion Research Institute and the Miller Center on Policing and Community Resilience at Rutgers University.
