    Here’s US Senator Pete Ricketts saying that we need to ban TikTok because pro-Palestine videos “have more reach than the top 10 US news websites combined”

    The reason it’s succeeded now is because of Gaza. Crediting the election makes no sense, how does this help anyone’s election chances?

      It doesn’t help. It hurts Biden among younger voters. Because he gets the blame for this.

            But only for those other reasons and definitely not because of TikTok being a hotbed of pro-Palestine/anti-Isrsel media content. Can’t be that, right? It’s just a coincidence. 🙄
