Since its hostile takeover by the pro-Israel Ellison billionaires, the US version of the TikTok app has begun an immediate war on pro-Palestine, anti-genocide, anti-Trump and anti-ICE speech. The platform had claimed that the sudden and complete ‘shadow-banning’ of left-wing and anti-Zionist content last weekend was a technical issue. It’s not just TikTok shadow banning content critical of ICE. The app is not just blocking content supportive of Palestinians or critical of Trump or Israel. Some of the videos and screenshots show Israel appearing at the top of searches for Oracle, the Ellisons’ company — which might be explained away.
