Description

Over the past five years TikTtok has radically changed the online world. But trust us when we say, it’s not how you’d expect.

Today we continue our yearslong exploration of what you can and can’t post online. We look at how Facebook’s approach to free speech has evolved since Trump’s victory. How TikTtok upended everything we see. And what all this means for the future of our political and digital lives.

Special thanks to Kate Klonick
