    Yes because nobody is talking about the Palestine/Israel situation on any other social media platforms. /s

    The more likely reason is that it’s a social media company that the government currently has zero control over. Being owned by a (Taiwanese?) company the US can’t ask them to track data and the CIA/FBI can’t fill it with propaganda or whatever else they want.

      But are they?

      I know they are on Fediverse sites, but is it really being discussed on Twitter and Facebook?

        Reddit, twitter, Facebook, Twitch, YouTube, tiktok and now Lemmy. I can’t think of a single social media site I’ve used in the last year that didn’t have people talking about Palestine in one way or another.

        It’s why I doubt the claim that the US government is specifically trying to ban tiktok because of the Palestine/Israel situation. They wanted TikTok gone before the October 7th 2023 attack.

        I believe it’s more likely a nation security issue being owned by a Chinese company than anything to do with Palestine whatsoever.

          This just shows that you haven’t been paying attention. Pro-palestine content is moderated off those platforms as “anti-semitic”. Raise your hand below if reddit has banned you for being anti-zionist.
