PRO-PALESTINE TIKTOKERS SPOOK U.S. SENATOR

So, US senator and former presidential candidate, Mitt Romney, has finally admitted the truth. A US ban on TikTok aims to combat the spread of information sympathetic to Palestine. He was speaking during a forum staged by the Washington-based think-tank, McCain Institute. And there wasn’t much protest from Secretary of State Antony Blinken, who was sat alongside him. It follows accusations the app, which has servers in China, promotes pro-Palestinian accounts. Too bad.

Meanwhile, Elon Musk, who owns X, and Mark Zuckerberg, who owns Meta, overwhelmingly support US foreign policy. Their apps are accused of censoring those challenging Western mainstream narratives, but there’s no talk of taking them down. Get the picture? So much for free speech.
