[quote=Anonymous][quote] TikTok exposed young Americans to Gaza war. Is it falling under the control of Israeli sympathisers?
As TikTok transfers its American operations to investors who have strong ties to Israel, critics warn the app could soon face new pressure to silence Palestinian voices.

On many nights over the past two years, teenagers across the United States opened TikTok not for watching dance videos or memes, but to witness first-hand what was going on in Gaza. 
The app helped beam shaky footage of Israeli brutality against the Palestinians to tens of millions of young people — most of them Gen Z — who otherwise were largely oblivious or confused about the Middle East’s longest-running dispute. 
Ambulances pulling children from rubble, mothers wailing outside hospitals, skeletal children dying of starvation, and journalists being killed — TikTok had helped capture all of this in its raw, unedited form, something that legacy Western media was censoring or, at best, showing a very toned-down version of what was happening on the ground. 
For a generation that does not watch the famed nightly news on cable TV, TikTok became both a newsroom and a witness stand.
But all of this is in danger. There’s concern that Americans won’t be able to witness the plight of Palestinians after TikTok’s US operation is taken over by a consortium of US firms.[/quote]

Israel did everything in its power to support Trump and hurt Biden and Harris. Guess TikTok will now be twitter. Good luck Dems! [/quote]
