translated from Spanish: TikTok removes 380,000 videos in US for hate speech

TikTok has removed more than 380,000 videos in the United States so far this year for violating its hate speech policy, the fashion app reported.
The app, owned by ByteDance of China, noted in a blog that it had acted on content such as racially motivated harassment and also has a zero-tolerance policy with organized hate groups and content that denies “violent tragedies” such as the Holocaust or slavery.
According to the short video app, others banned more than 1,300 accounts for posting hateful content.
TikTok, popular with teenagers for its dance videos, has been under scrutiny for its content moderation practices and in March appointed the first members of a board to advise on their policies and evaluate the actions the company takes.
President Donald Trump ordered ByteDance to get rid of its TikTok operations in the United States within 90 days, in the latest effort to increase pressure on the Chinese company over concerns about the security of the personal data it handles.
U.S. officials have expressed concern that user information may be transmitted to china’s government. TikTok has said that it has never provided user data to Beijing and that it would not do so if requested.
