[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=jsteele][quote=Anonymous]So this is OP - and I was talking with a reporter friend about this yesterday. She observed that these TikToks seemed pretty random and obscure - until they got amplified by Yashar Ali on Twitter. And that's when they started getting insane traffic - and when the letter on the Guardian's website started getting insane traffic.

She thinks that basically this was a whole lot of nothing until excited old people gave it tons of attention - then it turned into something.

So, I guess yay to us olds for falling for it again.[/quote]

I hadn't seen this post until just now, but I wrote about this thread in my blog post today and came to the same conclusion:

It's the last thread that I discussed today.[/quote]

Sorry you found this embarrassing. Some of us are struggling with what we see among young people right now - on social media and in the world. It can mean that we might be more likely to take something like this seriously when we see it - because it's fitting in with the other things we're seeing and experiencing. But yeah, fell for it - and foolish me for that.[/quote]

Eh, I suppose I’m one of the posters who should be embarrassed…but I’m not.

I don’t care if it’s 274 tiktokers or thousands…it’s shocking.

I’m not looking at this thread in isolation. Rather, I’m astounded by the videos of young people talking nonsense about everything: Israel, Gaza, politics, etc.

I’m also concerned about how social media can be used to manipulate.

Criticize me as lacking critical thinking skills if you like. [/quote]

Agree and well said.

I have been a vocal critic of the vile, toxic, CCP spy-tool known as TikTok, and anyone stupid enough to use it.

Seeing Bin Laden, or his letter, as anything other that horrific terrorist drivel, well, that speaks for itself.

President Obama saw Osama for the mass-murderer he was and rightly ordered him killed by Seal Team 6.[/quote]
