There was an interesting story from 404 Media yesterday that raises eyebrows and a few questions.
A peculiar implication is that TikTok bought back its US life, at least for now, by agreeing to suppress Palestinian voices on the platform.
- Why is TokTok suddenly connected to that conflict? No, I don't believe the company's response. There's an ongoing campaign to silence Palestinians and erase them from the tapestry, especially if they are creators and making a living, which they are not allowed to do. It's hardly surprising that TikTok has joined the party, but the timing is suspect.
- What is surprising is how Palestinians got dragged into TikTok's battle for survival in the U.S. Who else is stirring the fascist pot?
