  TikTok has seen exponential growth as a platform, fuelled by the success of
its proprietary recommender algorithm which serves tailored content to every
user - though not without controversy. Users complain of their content being
unfairly suppressed by ''the algorithm'', particularly users with marginalised
identities such as LGBTQ+ users. Together with content removal, this
suppression acts to censor what is shared on the platform. Journalists have
revealed biases in automatic censorship, as well as human moderation. We
investigate experiences of censorship on TikTok, across users marginalised by
their gender, LGBTQ+ identity, disability or ethnicity. We survey 627 UK-based
TikTok users and find that marginalised users often feel they are subject to
censorship for content that does not violate community guidelines. We highlight
many avenues for future research into censorship on TikTok, with a focus on
users' folk theories, which greatly shape their experiences of the platform.
