Tiktok is very pro-Palestine indeed. Compare that to the fascist shithole that reddit is right now (or always has been), and I'd say the kids are alright.

I believe reddit is infested with astroturfers paid for by governments.
It's just too manufactured and predictable, at this point.

As is tiktok, Facebook, Twitter and pretty much ebmvery other popular platform.
It's been coming for a lot longer than the few months since Palestine was back on people's minds. No, this is all about China vs. US.
I agree. It is not in any way a main reason. But it is a data point about how the west does not like a social media app that is not within their complete control.
No, but it sure is funny watching you useful idiots blame everything except for the Chinese ownership & influence ops on why Tik-tok is about to go bye-bye.
The obsession with TikTok continues.
Are you guys also obsessed with preserving Facebook?
It's not about a stupid cringe dance sharing app. It's about censorship of social media by vested interest groups.
It's a good thing China doesn't censor anything by the West. Or else you'd be calling the kettle black.
that's not how that phrase works
Found the useful idiot.
Does Tiktok have a significant amount of pro-Palestinian propaganda? I honestly don't know, I avoid that thing like a plague.
It has a lot of footage of the ruins and interviews with kids in Gaza. Which in turn has influenced the other kids on Tiktok.
Half of Gaza is under 18, it's really not surprising there are a lot of them with Tiktok accounts.
How do you feel about Facebook?
@WarmSoda um, the above wasn't my "feelings," it was a description of the content of TikTok based on observations.
My description of the content of Facebook is that it skews older, as well as boomers and gen X it has millennials who are fast ageing out of being a youth demographic.
Facebook is more text-heavy and link-based so its users are more likely to repost news and blog articles. Some of the boomers are not very media-savvy. Boomers also seem more likely to support Israel, I would link this to the fact they still consume network news.
Ignore this guy. He's a plug or just a normal useful idiot.
There's a trade war going on between the US and China, and it's important the US has people like him to muddy the waters.
It's raw footage, homie.
Drones don't spawn in air in real life, dude. So no, it's not raw foorage.
?
Just so we're on the same page here - what exactly do you think raw footage means?
The complete unchanged footage. What do you think it means?
That's not mutually exclusive with being shot from a drone, though
Are you going to discredit footage shot from a video camera because "video cameras don't spawn in air in real life, dude"?
Also, while we're at it, what's your definition of "propaganda"?

I deem it questionable based on that. The internet is full of videos that are cut conveniently or shown without context in order to paint a dishonest picture.
Also, while we're at it, what's your definition of "propaganda"?
It seems like your definition is broad enough to render all potential forms of media as such, in which case it's not a very useful definition.
People, Palestinians - primary sources - post footage they film on the ground and send out via TikTok et al - that's raw footage. Like I'm still lost on what were you trying to say with that drone comment.
That doesn't quite track with this footage, unless the drone is Palestinian.
