Mitt Romney Says Congress Supports Banning TikTok for Israel
In a conversation with Secretary of State Antony Blinken, Sen. Mitt Romney (R-UT) acknowledged that banning TikTok has such strong support in Congress because the social media platform has hurt Israel's public relations battle. "Some wonder why there was such overwhelming support for us to shut down...
Antony Blinken says Israel is losing the PR war because of social media.
Blinken blamed social media in general when asked by Romney why Israel was losing the global PR war.
Right, social media is at fault. It's definitely not the fact that Israel is commiting genocide and other war crimes.
He's right, in a way.
If it weren't for massive social media outlets like TikTok no one would know or care about the genocide. Israel has always been this way! Israel's plan for the Palestinians has pretty much always been genocide, nothing changed on their end. The only thing that changed is the existence of platforms that aren't under the control of pro-Israel propaganda, so now people are finally seeing the truth. Times have changed.
If it weren't for the access to the truth I don't think Americans would be opposing this genocide, and that's the way the ruling class wants it.
Republicans saying the quiet part out loud again...
But yeah, people organizing for progressive movements pisses off both parties.
And we've moved so far right, unfortunately "don't fund a genocide" is consider progressive extremism
They said the quiet part loud
Tiktok should have adjusted their algorithm like other platforms.
Nice app, you have there. Would be a shame if something were to happen to it.
They shouldn't have said this out loud; this just makes Tik Tok's 1st Amendment case better.
