During two weeks in December, unknown people twice attempted to block the TikTok account of the project Shishkin_like (https://www.tiktok.com/@shishkin_like). «The methodology of the attackers in social networks is simple, — the editorial board writes. — Mass complaints are organised against several publications. In the end, the social media robot, after deleting several publications, also deletes the account in general as a „persistent offender.“ The editorial staff appealed the complaints to the administration of TikTok. The publications and the channel were saved».
