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.
TikTok was already forced to host their data in the US because of “security concerns” but the level of censorship is not the same. The US wants to fully control what people are able to see to brainwash them.
American companies such as Twitter and Meta have IDF soldiers running their censorship division and systematically surpress Palestinian channels. This shadow censorship gives Americans the illusion they are experiencing free speech.
Wasn’t the whole ban cause china is brainwashing people with it?
No because America could not control the content and were escaping the American brainwashing.
