I hate tiktok. I am not from the US, but banning the app that is most popular among young people while raiding dozens of university campuses? Don’t sound like a great way to get young people trust the system…

My tiktok feed was filled with videos from the protests, and has been filled w info on Palestine for the past half a year. I don’t think this ban is a coincidence. Tiktok always has the fastest transmission of information from people on the scenes, kinda like Twitter back in the day.

They don’t need anyone to trust the system, they just need to retain control.

They don’t really aim for them either, it’s not like most young people would go lobby them in their preferred way(money).
