In a Tuesday episode of the This Past Weekend podcast, Von dismissed any national security concerns being floated about the China-owned TikTok platform, arguing the prevalence of content related to Israel’s bombing of Gaza — where thousands of civilians have been killed — is the real reason the government is uncomfortable.
“I believe that they don’t want people sharing the truth about the genocide in Palestine and that’s why they’re doing it. I believe that that’s what it is and TikTok is one of those places where people can still do that. And they want to own it. They want to own it, dude,” the podcaster and comedian said.
That could possibly be true IF it were true that TikTok is the only place you can talk about that, but it’s not. Have a look around.
Facebook actively shadow bans you when you discuss Gaza. Tiktok is afaik the only platform where you can agitate about Gaza with significant reach.
Edit: I just watched an FD Signifier video, where he avoided saying the word “Palestine”, because he expects youtube to bury his content if he mentions it.
Bruh, you can share the truth on pretty much any way imaginable. Why would you ban one platform, and out of all of them TikTok, to “control the narrative”? Everyone knows what’s going on, there have already been plenty protests because of it, it’s way too late to control anything and maybe most importantly: TikTok offered the US more control and they declined. They straight up proposed to do whatever the hell the government wants if they can stay and it was dismissed.
TikTok was already forced to host their data in the US because of “security concerns” but the level of censorship is not the same. The US wants to fully control what people are able to see to brainwash them.
American companies such as Twitter and Meta have IDF soldiers running their censorship division and systematically surpress Palestinian channels. This shadow censorship gives Americans the illusion they are experiencing free speech.
Wasn’t the whole ban cause china is brainwashing people with it?
No because America could not control the content and were escaping the American brainwashing.
Mitt Romney confirmed this explicitly. Anyone saying the tiktok ban isn’t about covering up Israel’s genocide in Gaza is denying objective fact.
Give us a source then mr. objective fact man

Then shut up and remove yourself from the discussion.
Who?
Podcast Bro, best not to pay attention or attention to anyone who listens to them.
It’s extremely valuable that a right-adjacent podcast host is directly saying that Israel is committing a genocide. The more normies/politically unengaged are told this, the better
They have been trying to ban tiktok for what like 5 years, clearly it’s about Gaza…
Well, it was actually Trump that tried to ban it and Democrats were against it. I wonder why Democrats took up the mantle in the past year hmmmmm
Yes, Israel and Gaza, a world event only relevant in the last year or so
The cover up is real. Look at the fore thought. /s
