TikTok to Stop Being so Soft With Community Guidelines

The Issue

TikTok is always removing people's videos for the stupidest and dumbest reasons. Some examples of this are

1) I stitched a video where if you cover your upper lip and smile, you have a really weird and creepy smile. The video that I stitched did not get removed, meanwhile they removed it from me cause that is minor safety. How is it minor safety for me, but not for the stitched video if we both did the exact same thing?

2) Girls always make videos of them in bikinis, showing off their body and doing inapropriate dances and movements. 95% of those video never get removed, but when boys make videos showing their stomach and nipples, that gets removed for minor safety and adult nudity. 95% of the time when I upload a video of my nipples being shown they remove it within 10 minutes and ban me from posting for a few days. This does not make sense considering girls are showing off on purpose and the boys are not showing off. 

3) I made a video of me chugging a water bottle as fast as I can. Tiktok removed it for dangerous acts and banned me from posting, going live, commenting, editing my profile, and messaging for 2 weeks. That isn't even dangerous and it causes no harm. 

4) There are plenty of videos of people doing extremely dangerous stunts on building roofs, moving trains, very thin beams, and other stuff where they can slip and fall and get seriously injured or possibly die, but when I uploaded a video of me quickly putting my finger through a fire for not even 1 second, it gets removed for dangerous acts. Yet the stunt videos aren't apparently dangerous.

TikTok needs to stop removing videos and punishing people for their videos being removed for reasons that do not have anything to do with what they did. If this does not stop, they are eventually going to falsely ban us for doing nothing wrong. Please help in signing this petition if you thing the community guidelines need to change.
