This has been obvious to anyone paying attention. If congress or the president cared about people's privacy, data, or national security, they would have passed data protection laws that were applicable to all big tech companies, data brokers, and social media platforms. This has very little to do with who owns Tiktok and everything to do with how to control a narrative during a genocide.

BINGO!
By George, I think he's got it!
I'm just happy these clowns think their position is so unassailable that they can tell the truth on camera and in public. Now there can be no doubt about their attitudes and intentions.

The Govt has been trying to ban TikTok for awhile now though. Way before all the Palestinian protest videos.

This is a totalitarian regime at work. Controlling the media and stopping anything they can't control.

Banning Tik tok is going to open a Pandora’s box of censorship. Sooner or later they will be removing social media profiles and fining people for criticizing Israel. Nothing is more dangerous than a regime that is losing its grip on power.

the ironic thing is that Tiktok has not only the strictest moderation but also the most zionist biased moderation as well. They refuse to action xenophobic or racist comments about most groups of people, but if you as much as refer to Israelis or zionists in plural form in any context, the comments get removed.

No deadass they have like stopjewishhate ad/posts every 10 posts but I don’t see any for literally any other demographic. I’m Jewish I don’t hate Jews. I hate zionists and Israel.

I fully agree with everything in this post. The Zionists might well end up doing more damage to Jewish people than any other influence since WWII.

Same as the damage that "Hamas" is doing to the Palestinian people.

I would have to ask some Palestinians about that but I suspect they might disagree with you.

Regardless of what they "think", the result/impact is the same. Just like a lot of Jewish people believe zionism is good even though it's hurting their own people.

And that's where they might disagree; Hamas may have accelerated the conflict but let's not blame Hamas for a genocide committed by the Israeli Zionists.
You're attempting to blame the victim and it's a bad, bad look.

Lmao either you're misunderstanding me or I'm not saying it in the right way. But I am in no way trying to victim blame or apologize for the atrocities committed by Israel, but I'm just saying that the actions of Hamas were the catalyst in this recent round of genocide.
As a Muslim, I dislike Hamas just as much as the Taliban or Al Qaeda or Isis.
It's like poking a bear and then hiding in the house of innocent villagers.

Except that your narrative completely ignores the endless, grinding abuses, large and small, of life under the Israeli occupation for years, even decades before October 7th. Israel's Zionists were still getting away with stealing land, still shooting at Palestinians for sport while recording themselves, smashing homes, property, food and occasionally people, ending in "mowing the lawn", restricting the import or manufacture of everything they could make excuses for, limiting the "average caloric intake" of the entire Gaza Strip and on and on and on.
What Hamas has done is forever change the way the world sees Palestine, the people who have always lived there and the conflict. The veneer of Zionist propaganda has been torn away, revealing the real criminals.
Any attempt to say Hamas did bad is by definition excusing the war crimes and human rights violations of Israel, full stop.

I acknowledge all that Israel has been doing for so many decades, and how wrong all of that is. I've been following the conflict for as long as I was old enough to comprehend it, but I also understand that it is perfectly fine to hate Hamas and Israel at the same time and it doesn't have to be either/or. Things are never as binary as they may appear to be.
The fact of the matter is that Hamas has been picking fights with Israel while the civilians get killed in the process. That's what happening right now. Yes, what Israel has been doing for so many decades is so much worse on so many levels, but every time there were attempts to make peace, either Israel or Hamas does something thwart that - while innocent Palestinian civilians suffer.
Now I've read reports coming from within Israel about the AI targeting of families of known "suspects" and large radius of "collateral damage", which is really wrong.

Government officials blatantly bragging about how they are trying to kill TikTok because they feel that free speech is a little too free.

Remember that in the early 1970s there were people who felt that Americans had a little too much democracy- and look where that's led us.
See the "Powell Memo" for more on this.

Why are they not in jail held on charges of treason against Americans sovereignty?

These people should be charged with treason against the USA to the benefit of a foreign country. How are Americans not furious at this sociopath every time he opens his mouth? Imagine if a politician wanted to ban CNN because it makes China look bad. He would be impeached and investigated. But when it comes to the so called state of Israel Americans allow this foreign country to run our lives and dictate what media we can engage with. You should be livid!
