TikTok: see the “raw news”

Some US lawmakers have been pushing anti-TikTok sentiment for awhile. But the recent bill potentially banning TikTok in the US, which passed the House, seems to be a pressing issue because of Israel and Palestine.

President Joe Biden is under increasing pressure over covering for the genocide of Palestinians, where Israel has killed over 11,000 children. The difficulty in pretending children are terrorists has put the US in a tricky spot.

This is especially so when the US provides Israel with $3.3 billion in annual funds and continues to sell the state weapons. That’s while the International Court of Justice (ICJ) has found it’s “plausible” Israel is committing genocide.

In November, 25 Republicans signed a letter denouncing what they called a “deluge of pro-Hamas content” on TikTok. Republican senator Josh Hawley, meanwhile, said there’s “ubiquity of anti-Israel content on TikTok”.

I don't think the government should ban or control any social media. My Senator, Marsha "Internet Czar" wants the government to do what Parents should do.
