Feroza Aziz

Feroza Aziz is an Afghan American Muslim social media star based in New Jersey. She is best known as a Tiktok personality and activist. [2] [3] [4]

Social Media

As of November 2019, she has a following of over 21,000 on Tiktok.

TikTok Ban

On Monday November 25, 2019, Aziz posted a series of viral videos that appeared to be makeup tutorials but actually aggressively condemned the Chinese government for its mass oppression of Uighur Muslims. [2]

TikTok stated that it suspended her account because she had previously posted a video about the terrorist Osama bin Laden on a different account, not because of her posts attacking China. [2]

She began one video, posted under the handle @getmefamouspartthree:

"Hi, guys.

I'm going to teach you guys how to get long lashes,"

"So the first thing you need to do is grab your lash curler, curl your lashes, obviously, then you're going to put them down and use your phone that you're using right now to search up what's happening in China, how they're getting concentration camps, throwing innocent Muslims in there, separating their families from each other, kidnapping them, murdering them, raping them, forcing them to eat pork, forcing them to drink, forcing them to convert to different religions, if not, or else they're going to, of course, get murdered."

[4]

TikTok Reinstatement

On November 27, 2019 TikTok reinstated Aziz's account and published a lengthy statement on their website, written by Eric Han, Head of Safety at TikTok US.

The letter is structured in three parts, beginning with a timeline of events that leads to an apology and concludes with the platform's philosophy.[14]

Feroza responded to the apology with a tweet that read,[15]

UPDATE: tik tok has issued a public apology and gave me my account back.

Do I believe they took it away because of a unrelated satirical video that was deleted on a previous deleted account of mine?

Right after I finished posting a 3 part video about the Uyghurs?

No.

In a BBC News interview that was published on November 28, 2019, Feroza boldly stated,[16]

"I will continue to talk about it, and I will talk about it on Twitter, on Instagram, on any platform I have, even TikTok.

I'm not scared of TikTok, even after the suspension.

I won't be scared of TikTok.”
