A look, a theory contrary to all evidence!
Quoting from the article: 'Regarding the policy of suppressing videos featuring unattractive, disabled, or poor users, Gartner stated that the rules “represented an early blunt attempt at preventing bullying, but are no longer in place, and were already out of use when The Intercept obtained them.”'

What's your point? Are you saying that TikTok having these guidelines is okay? (I work at IG, but not on Explore)
The point is that at the end of the day people will always prefer looking at beautiful people over ugly people, so TikToks practices aren’t really all that absurd.
If you cannot see this critical difference between enforced directive and choice of interest, then god help you.

No, having worked on explore sourcing and ranking I can tell you with certainty Instagram does not do the same thing.
Implementation is different, but passes all the same test cases.

The web is still there, you can still dump some HTML in IIS on your crappy windows laptop from bestbuy and plug it into your router and have it show up on google (not that that’s a good idea.) Heck you can dump your html files on github pages with the same effect, you don’t even need to know git. The web is still the web, most people still don’t bother using it.
Getting a domain on google is not as easy as it used to be. If your domain has few inbound links don’t expect to appear on google at all, no matter how unique your search keywords may be.
If I actually had interesting things on there it would probably be on the front page for a few related keywords.

Failing that, censorship is OK if we dislike the content being censored or the people posting it.
TikTok doing this is Universal Chinese that is understood all over the world. No need for translation.
