She called it what it was. Rape.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Within hours, her video was removed for \u201cviolating community guidelines.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image aligncenter size-full is-resized\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"236\" height=\"169\" data-src=\"https:\/\/jusmedia.co.uk\/scarletthreads\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/47\/2025\/05\/i-wasnt-graped.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-1312 lazyload\" style=\"--smush-placeholder-width: 236px; --smush-placeholder-aspect-ratio: 236\/169;width:392px;height:auto\" src=\"data:image\/svg+xml;base64,PHN2ZyB3aWR0aD0iMSIgaGVpZ2h0PSIxIiB4bWxucz0iaHR0cDovL3d3dy53My5vcmcvMjAwMC9zdmciPjwvc3ZnPg==\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Community guidelines: Screenshot<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cI felt a weight off my shoulders when I finally opened up, only to come back to the app and find out that no one even heard me. It was heartbreaking.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>That was Jo\u2019s first lesson in the digital dystopia survivors now live in, a world where naming your pain is more offensive than the act that caused it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Censorship<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>On TikTok, saying \u201crape\u201d will likely get your content removed. Say \u201cgrape,\u201d however, and you might stay visible. Sexual assault survivors have created entire languages out of necessity- \u201dunalived\u201d instead of \u201csuicidal,\u201d \u201cSA\u201d instead of \u201csexual assault,\u201d \u201cPDF file\u201d instead of \u201cpaedophile\u201d and endless euphemisms that reduce real trauma to algorithm-surviving codes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center\"><a href=\"https:\/\/jusmedia.co.uk\/scarletthreads\/2025\/05\/23\/womens-censhership-why-social-media-keeps-silencing-womens-bodies\/\">Click here to find out more way social media silences women<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cIt\u2019s like talking in riddles about the worst thing that ever happened to you,\u201d Jo says, \u201cIt makes me feel like a joke to talk about my trauma that way.\u201d&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Jo is not alone in her story. A 2023 Mozilla Foundation report found that content about sexual violence is among the most frequently removed on TikTok, even when it doesn\u2019t violate <a href=\"https:\/\/support.tiktok.com\/en\/safety-hc\/account-and-user-safety\/content-violations-and-bans\">community guidelines<\/a>. Survivors, advocates, and even therapists have been shadowbanned or silenced, while misogynistic content, ironically, often slips through the algorithm.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Tiktok&#8217;s stance<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>According to TikTok&#8217;s Community Guidelines, while the platform prohibits content that depicts, promotes, or glorifies sexual violence, it does permit those who are surviving from sexual experiences to share their personal stories, and educational content about sexual violence, provided the content does not include graphic descriptions or imagery. The reality that Jo and many other content creators on the app face, however, is very different.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cI think it&#8217;s ridiculous to be honest,\u201d says Jo, \u201cThe amount of times I\u2019ve seen vile comments on the app that don\u2019t get taken down, even when I personally report them. If I want to speak up about my trauma though, suddenly I\u2019m the problem.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The reality that survivors who speak up face can be seen as, not just frustrating, but dystopian- a world where a survivor is  expected to reduce their to watered-down, bite-sized clips or be erased altogether; a digital courtroom where a survivor is cross-examined by strangers, judged by likes, and sentenced to invisibility if they don\u2019t play by the algorithm\u2019s rules.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"628\" height=\"420\" data-src=\"https:\/\/jusmedia.co.uk\/scarletthreads\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/47\/2025\/05\/Screenshot-2025-06-04-143743.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-2361 lazyload\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/jusmedia.co.uk\/scarletthreads\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/47\/2025\/05\/Screenshot-2025-06-04-143743.png 628w, https:\/\/jusmedia.co.uk\/scarletthreads\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/47\/2025\/05\/Screenshot-2025-06-04-143743-480x321.png 480w\" data-sizes=\"(min-width: 0px) and (max-width: 480px) 480px, (min-width: 481px) 628px, 100vw\" src=\"data:image\/svg+xml;base64,PHN2ZyB3aWR0aD0iMSIgaGVpZ2h0PSIxIiB4bWxucz0iaHR0cDovL3d3dy53My5vcmcvMjAwMC9zdmciPjwvc3ZnPg==\" style=\"--smush-placeholder-width: 628px; --smush-placeholder-aspect-ratio: 628\/420;\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">People on their phones: Free Range Stock<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cSometimes I wonder if I\u2019m doing more harm than good by speaking up.

What they often fail to consider is they\u2019re not erasing the problem- only the people who are speaking about it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>By muting these voices, platforms can be protecting perpetrators more than they are protecting their viewers.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cIt shouldn\u2019t have to be this way. I should be allowed to speak up about something that happened to me without fear of censorship.
