Kit Klarenberg uncovers how Israel's grip on U.S. policy threatens online expression with the TikTok ban bill, challenging the narrative of Chinese control and highlighting the real danger to free speech.

TikTok has long been in the crosshairs of powerful pro-Israel lobbying organizations due to the speed and ease with which content critical of Israeli atrocities and apartheid spreads on its platform. The risk younger users might question the concertedly concealed, horrific reality of Israel’s occupation has become all the graver throughout the Gaza genocide. Now, those same groups have corralled U.S. lawmakers into launching a fatal attack on free speech online.

    I dislike the Israeli government as much as the next lemming, but TikTok might just be worse… No matter who supports it, I see zero wort in that platform. It’s genuinely horrifying.

      Good god, thanks for coming out and telling us how you really feel.

      A video platform that you and every other person can stop using any moment is worse than thousands of innocent people dying at the hands of a genocidal army.

      You, my dude are genuinely horrifying
