Critics renew calls for a TikTok ban, claiming anti-Israel bias on the platform::Critics are renewing calls to ban TikTok, arguing that the most popular content related to the Israel-Hamas war on the app has a pro-Palestinian slant.

The criticism from Israel’s supporters is that free speech on TikTok is changing public opinion.

That’s the whole point of free speech. If you have to censor the other side to win a debate, it’s an admission your cause is trash.

Lol I know tiktok can influence what people see, but it’s basically the same as Facebook Google or YouTube, people see what they want to see.

Except if it’s in Chinese interest to skew the public opinion in a certain direction (like in this case the Anti-American and anti-imperialist-spins on the war against Hamas)

TikTok skews young.

Younger people are more likely to support Palestinians over Israel.

This is old people getting mad at youth for rejecting old failed politics.
