Award-winning Palestinian journalist Bisan Owda has said she has been permanently banned from TikTok, days after the social media platform was acquired by new investors in the United States. Owda, an Emmy Award-winning journalist and contributor to Al Jazeera’s AJ+ from Gaza, shared a video on her Instagram and X accounts on Wednesday, telling her followers that her TikTok account had been banned. I had 1.4 million followers there, and I have been building that platform for four years,” Owda said in the video filmed from Gaza. Al Jazeera sent a query to TikTok inquiring about Owda’s account and is waiting for a reply. Despite the ongoing ceasefire, an Israeli attack last week killed three Palestinian journalists in Gaza.
