Losing the ability to Censor pro Palestinian content on social media has severely changed the views of our younger Generation.
This is what was on TikTok while Twitter was full with #istandwithisrael: https://www.tiktok.com/@rathbonemakesmusic/video/7289906736847129902
Its clear that this is about the control of "freedom of speech". Ironic that we are now censoring the CCP
Social media are inherently about censorship being a coherent policy and not a personal choice of every single webmaster.
TikTok is something "good" only in this particular case (Palestine).
That's true but it is a sign that the speech we believe is so free is actually not free whatsoever.
When a platform doesn't censor, or censors different things than we want them to censor, they get banned.
