One example:
TikTok Facilitates CCP’s Arrest of Uyghurs in China
The Uyghur Times has documented at least 20 individuals who vanished after sharing videos criticizing the Chinese government on TikTok between 2021 and 2023.The International Version of TikTok has a long history of suspending or suppressing users who share content criticizing the Chinese government. That is why you don’t see Uyghur activists on this platform; that is why so many people don’t know what is happening to the Uyghur people.You may not care, but we Uyghurs are clear about one fact: TikTok is the genocidal arm of the Chinese government.
You’ll find a large number of examples on how the CCP censors their web.

Citing tbe article that “the International Version of TikTok has a long history of suspending or suppressing users who share content criticizing the Chinese government,” it might refer to TikTok users outside China.

Yeah reading the article it seems like Douyin is where the people were disappearing and TikTok is where the videos were suppressed.
They’re both owned by Bytedance out of Beijing so it’s not really much of a distinction.

China critics like Dong Guangping and Gui Minhai disappeared from Vietnam and Thailand, only to resurface in Chinese prisons.
[…] dissidents have simply disappeared from Thailand and Hong Kong before re-emerging in mainland Chinese custody.
You’d really find a lot more examples on the web.
