Is Israel getting bad PR the reason for banning tik tok?

I don’t know anyone who uses tik tok and wants to move to china. It seems like this “Chinese propaganda” scare is really a cover up for exposing the Israeli genocide. If you agree with the ban, why do you hate free speech? Or do you only want it when it benefits your narrative? Seems like tik tok is doing great at letting people form their own conclusions and the government and aipac hate that idea.

What genocide?

The one that ethically cleaned 35k Palestinians in the last 7 months. To put it in perspective, 9/11 killed 3000 people over 20 years ago and Americans still won’t get over it

The ones denied by Nazi supporters

It goes deeper than this. The deep state can't directly manipulate it like it can Facebook, YouTube, etc. Any content creator on those other apps know if they stray from the narrative they'll get demonetized and/or banned.

I don't think I've seen a credible news source call the war a "genocide". This is something that was born out of the sjw side of TikTok

How many deaths until it’s considered a genocide?

By “credible” news source, he means western news source. International Court of Justice declared there’s a plausible genocide happening - is that credible enough for you?

Do you mean the retaliation against Israel for the attack the terrorists of Hamas carried out? What happens when you poke at a wasp's nest?

Yes, apparently the negative PR of Israel’s siege of Gaza did trigger US Lawmakers to adjust and then pass the legislation. There is a podcast from NYT on this.

SENATOR ROMNEY: A small parenthetical point, which is some wonder why there was such overwhelming support for us to shut down potentially TikTok or other entities of that nature. If you look at the postings on TikTok and the number of mentions of Palestinians relative to other social media sites, it’s overwhelmingly so among TikTok broadcasts. So I’d note that’s of real interest, and the President will get the chance to make action in that regard.

Why even have this conversation here when you know this app is filled with Indians who hate Muslims? In reality they just hate themselves because they can’t get any Tinder matches but yeah. Wrong audience for this topic.

But yes I do believe the TikTok ban is directly related to Israel’s propaganda being unraveled. They can pretend it’s not the case but it’s very obvious to people who stay very informed on politics.

Twitch wifhat May 5

if you guys found out the truth about how futuristic Chinese cities are, and how we've been brainwashed our whole lives by western media... you would also want to live in China but yeah Mitt Romney openly stated anti-Israel PR led to the tiktok ban

Amazon yellowRot May 5

Regardless of the trigger, at least the US authorities got motivated to do the sensible thing. Letting China have so much influence over the US public opinion is pathetic.
