Honestly, I'm not sure what a "golf influencer" is, except to guess that it's someone who influences golf. But I can see how Paige Spiranac could wield some influence in other areas.

The lovely Miss Spiranac, who carries at least two assets that could influence a guy, is protesting a TikTok "shadow ban" presumably over her choice of garments, and she is calling on the social media platform to "free the cleavage."
I couldn't agree more.
Paige Spiranac has been on a cold streak on TikTok, and she has a theory as to why.
It is extremely uncommon for the 30-year-old golf influencer's videos on TikTok not to rack up hundreds of thousands of views. She has had several get well over one million.
But all of a sudden, her last four videos haven't even cracked six figures.
In fact, her last three videos posted prior to Saturday hadn't even combined for 100,000.
Spiranac is not afraid to show off what she's got, and she has been very vocal that she will continue to do so, despite whatever the naysayers say.
But her theory is that's why she's been "shadow-banned."
"I’m shadow-banned on TikTok all because of some little innocent cleavage," she posted on X, formerly Twitter. "Free the cleavage!"
I suspect Miss Spiranac will find plenty of support on this quest.
In this matter, it is entirely possible that TokTok may be caught in a booby trap of their own making. People enjoy looking at pretty girls; that's one of the best ways to market a wide range of products. That doesn't stop some organizations from making mistakes, though, as the Victoria's Secret people recently learned.

It turns out TikTok has in their guidelines a caution against sexual content and nudity:
The company also has specific guidelines about different types of mature content, including "nudity and body exposure" and "sexually suggested content." Users can also view their account status and a reports page where creators can see the status of reports they have made on other content.
Purely in the interest of accurate reporting - you see, readers, the lengths to which I am willing to go to bring you only the most detailed information - I perused Miss Spiranac's image files, not only on TikTok but also on X/Twitter, and while she is a very attractive young lady and dresses to suit, I really didn't see anything there that approached nudity. All of her societally proscribed bits are covered, and as far as "sexually suggested content," I don't even see anything I'd call a provocative pose. Most of her images are of a pretty girl doing pretty things with sun, water, and grass, and there's certainly nothing wrong with that.
Purely in the interest of bringing you the whole story, I also examined the social media links for Miss Spiranac's influencer colleague, LSU gymnast Olivia Dunne, and found similar results; apparently, Miss Dunne is also suffering from a shadow-ban by the Chinese Communist Party/TikTok.
What is it with Communists that makes them such joyless Puritans? Sometimes people are just too uptight about these things. Just another reason to be glad to be an American.
