TikTok permanently bans Brad Polumbo: BASED Politics co-founder and DC Examiner contributor Brad Polumbo tweeted Nov. 13, “I have been permanently banned from @tiktok_us for ‘repeated violations of the community standards.’” He added, “I have only ever had ONE video judged to violate standards after appeal. I was reaching 1-2 million people a month on the app.”  His tweet included an apparent screenshot from TikTok, which said, “We reviewed your appeal.  It was determined that your account violates our Community Guidelines and cannot be restored.  You’ll no longer be able to log in to TikTok with your account.”
