    I think the reason it’s happening now is because of the growing protest movement against the genocide in Gaza.

    All the other US media companies actively sensor pro-Palestine/anti-Israel content and TikTok doesn’t. Unacceptable!

      Maybe, but I don’t think so. The US govt is infamously slow and inefficient. I’ve been following this and it’s been a drumbeat that’s been growing for years, since long before Israel’s latest genocidal push began last October.

      If there’s any particular reason that it’s succeeded now, I’d put it more down to the upcoming election.
