Olivia Dunne Makes Serious Claim Against TikTok

Published|Updated

Olivia Dunne believes TikTok isn't playing fair with her content.

The LSU gymnast has made a living by crushing content on Instagram and TikTok, and has a combined 12.9 million followers on the platforms. That's directly translated to millions of dollars in NIL earnings.

The young woman is a superstar in every sense of the word. Yet, she thinks TikTok is out to get her.

Olivia Dunne alleges TikTok is shadow banning her.

Dunne previously accused the social media giant of shadow banning her, and it appeared like her numbers were down in a significant fashion. However, things appeared to get back to normal.

That no longer appears to be the case. She shared a video Wednesday of her simply messing around, and the video has under 170,000 views as of Thursday morning.

That's a shockingly low number for Dunne. 

Her belief in what's going on? TikTok has, once again, turned the spigot off.

Honestly, I have no idea what TikTok is or isn't doing. Nobody really does, and that's a major problem with the platform. There's currently a huge debate in America about whether the app should be banned.

The biggest concern is the government isn't comfortable with an app that has direct or indirect ties to the CCP in Beijing having data on Americans. It's a fair concern. TikTok claims it's overblown, but does anyone really trust the CCP couldn't snatch it up if the dictatorship wanted to?

While this situation is far less serious, it's clear a new front is opening in the war against TikTok. This front - once seemingly settled - is between Dunne and the Chinese company.

For comparison, her last 20 posts all have at least a million viewers. Yet, this post had less than 170,000. You don't need to be a genius to know something is going on.

Did the Chinese company decide it simply can't accept American exceptionalism? Embrace debate at David.Hookstead@outkick.com.
