Fanta 5,019 Posted December 10, 2021 Share Posted December 10, 2021 Israel's most lethal weapon is the lies it perpetuates (like being anti-Israel = being anti-semitic), and with the rise of social media news outlets/major platforms have been unable to maintain their lies to the masses. It's very interesting seeing how huge social media platforms censor anti-Israel content, just like the media avoided the huge worldwide protests/outrage in May in regards to the conflict.

Chromatislaps 34,854 Posted December 10, 2021 Share Posted December 10, 2021 I would not be surprised TikTok would do this, TikTok is alleged to be owned by the Chinese goverment through the media conglomerate company Bytedance (alleged by whistleblowers/insider, and CCP tries to deny it). The former COO of Bytedance was also the former the CEO of Tiktok... so very likely that the CCP+ Bytedance meddle with TikTok affairs. What does the CCP do with muslims in their country? We know the answer to that... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

There has always been racism against Palestinian content on social media and specially Facebook and Instagram. Back in May, there was mass deletion of Palestinian accounts, pages and content on Facebook. Only recently the company agreed to open an investigation after employees confirmed that Palestinian content is being deleted on purpose. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ppl these days dont put much thought into each individual situation or circumstance. Isms get thrown very quickly without really analyzing situations In this case calling out sh*t from actions or a Government doesnt mean ur being anti any people as a whole Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I forgot her name, but I believe it was a former Israeli politician (or at least someone who worked there) and she specifically states that the antisemitism 'argument' is a classic tactic used to shame people into submission and to excuse Israel's demonic actions against innocent Palestinians. When it comes to what is happening in Palestine, people are very aware but choose to turn a blind eye. This is not one of the situations you've made mention of. Yes, it's true, calling out people in power and politicians does not mean people are anti-anything - but division is a war tactic, and Israel (with the help of many complicit governments and people in powerful positions) was able to convince dummies around the world with no claim to their stance that it is antisemitic to question their actions.

I remember reading headlines that the Israeli 'government' contacted the big wigs that run the main social media platforms in May. I would like to say nothing disappoints me, but in reality that does unsettle me. The reach this corrupt group of people has when it comes to media and spreading mass misinformation is deadly, and I wonder when it will ever stop. We don't want to find ourselves hundreds of years from now talking about the 'war crimes' of Israel and holding 'memorials' for Palestinians, like we do today when recalling all the terror white people spread throughout history.

monstrosity 3,979 Posted December 10, 2021 Share Posted December 10, 2021 I'm so furious with social media, they're supposed to be a incredible tool for freedom of speech (so activism by extension) but instead they're a fu***** tool for governments to do propaganda, to rob elections or hide crimes against humanity, it's the ultimate opposite. social media are way too powerful, they need to be constrained by standards as high as possible with regard to censorship and freedom of speech funny thing is that in the meantime they don't even bother to delete death threats or actual rape videos lol Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

They will do anything in their power now to reduce the influence and reach people like us have to spread the correct message. As a result of social media (and photographic/video evidence) no one trusts the 'news' anymore. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

We know the answer to that Christ. NO. The Chinese government has nothing to gain from siding with Israel on anything. The state media has ALWAYS been on Palestine's side in this conflict.

So would you say it's the US branch of Tiktok that enforces these bans? In addition to my previous post, China does have a close economic relationship with Israel in regards to the Belt and Road initiative and the interest in Israel's advanced technologies. After the US, China is Israel's second largest tradepartner, so I could see economic interest instigating this move, even though at the surface level China supports Palestine. I'm curious what your view is on this. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
ProfessionalClown 10,647 Posted December 10, 2021 Share Posted December 10, 2021 People really stopped talking about Palestine just like BLM tbh. People used it as a moral thing to say they were “on the right moral side” for their own satisfaction then just kinda tossed it to the side. It’s sad I don’t see many posts about Palestine anymore, it’s just sad. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
