In a Tuesday episode of the This Past Weekend podcast, Von dismissed any national security concerns being floated about the China-owned TikTok platform, arguing the prevalence of content related to Israel’s bombing of Gaza — where thousands of civilians have been killed — is the real reason the government is uncomfortable.
“I believe that they don’t want people sharing the truth about the genocide in Palestine and that’s why they’re doing it. I believe that that’s what it is and TikTok is one of those places where people can still do that. And they want to own it. They want to own it, dude,” the podcaster and comedian said.
Mitt Romney confirmed this explicitly. Anyone saying the tiktok ban isn’t about covering up Israel’s genocide in Gaza is denying objective fact.

Who?
Comedian who runs a podcast. This is an important event imo because he rubs shoulders with right wing dumbasses and has them in his audience as well. The more they hear opposing viewpoints the better.
Podcast Bro, best not to pay attention or attention to anyone who listens to them.

It’s pretty obvious especially when IG is nonstop zio hasbro.
I think it’s more than just that, but that’s the leading excuse they are running with. Not being able to tax it to kingdom come and influence algorithms is also reasons.
