TikTokkers are using a little-known livestreaming feature to falsely represent Israelis and Palestinians—and the company is taking a cut of costly in-app gifts viewers give to participants.

They’ve been doing this with Trump and politics for months.

That sucks. I think it's worse when they're doing it to capitalize off violence, especially when they're taking money that dumb people assume might go towards some cause.

It's an easy cash grab and I'm surprised it works. I've seen Islam vs Christianity and LGBT vs. straight battle streams and they get tons of gifts for doing nothing.

Exactly. This news report is reporting the obvious, like when a meteorologist says it’s raining when it’s raining.

In Northern England, we have a word for people like this. Dickheads. I beleive it's suitable and appropriate.

Yea they where making videos being victim's for the views.

While this is particularly egregious, this is nothing new. I've seen ones that do pro Vs anti LGBT, pro Vs anti abortion, etc. Anything for engagement.

that’s why I think people who install this are insane and brainwashed because it’s the truth.

Not sure to understand what is the truth, is it what you think ?

there is no thing is like a universal truth that doesn’t make TikTok less shitty. If you mean that.
