**Path parameters**

| Name        | Type     | Required | Description                                                                                                                                                                    |
| ----------- | -------- | -------- | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ |
| `commentId` | `string` | Yes      | The provider's comment id: a numeric string everywhere but YouTube, whose ids are URL-safe base64. One that does not match the platform's format returns 400 invalid\_request. |

**Body**

| Name        | Type                                                 | Required | Description                                                                       |
| ----------- | ---------------------------------------------------- | -------- | --------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
| `platform`  | `"instagram" \| "facebook" \| "tiktok" \| "youtube"` | Yes      |                                                                                   |
| `accountId` | `uuid`                                               | Yes      |                                                                                   |
| `profileId` | `uuid`                                               |          | Optional, because accountId names its profile. If you pass both, they must agree. |
| `hidden`    | `boolean`                                            |          | Hide (true) or unhide (false).                                                    |
| `liked`     | `boolean`                                            |          | TikTok only. Like (true) or unlike (false).                                       |
| `postId`    | `string`                                             |          | TikTok only, required with hidden: the post the comment is on.                    |

On YouTube, `hidden: true` holds the comment for review, where only the channel
sees it, and `hidden: false` publishes it again. `liked` returns
`422 not_supported` on every platform but TikTok.

Send at least one of `hidden` and `liked`. Returns `200` with the new state:
`{ platform, accountId, profileId, comment: { id, hidden?, liked? } }`.

**Errors** — `401 unauthorized`, `400 invalid_request`, `404 account_not_found`,
`422 connection_expired`, `422 not_supported`, `429 rate_limited`,
`502 provider_error`.
