Chinese spyware app TikTok is promoting antisemitic disinformation

In what should be a surprise to absolutely no one, the Chinese spyware app that doubles as a Chinese propaganda app is promoting antisemitism and anti-Israel disinformation and feeding that content to young, impressionable Americans.
TikTok, a Chinese spyware app that funnels user data to a Chinese company that is directly allied with the Chinese Communist Party, is boosting “pro-Palestinian” content in the aftermath of Hamas’s massacre of 1,400 civilians in Israel. Antisemitic, pro-terrorist content on TikTok has regularly gone viral as “pro-Palestine” posts outnumber pro-Israel posts by a massive margin.
KEEP ISRAEL, UKRAINE, AND THE SOUTHERN BORDER SEPARATE
None of this is a surprise. Antisemitic content spreads regularly through China’s heavily censored internet and through Chinese state media. TikTok’s algorithm promotes dangerous and violent “challenges” to American users, including car theft and property damage, so it stands to reason that it would also be promoting antisemitic, pro-terrorist content to American users after an American allied country was attacked by terrorists.
Now, the Biden administration is “warily monitoring” how the Chinese propaganda app’s algorithm is boosting anti-Israel content to young Americans. Of course, this is the same Biden administration that has embraced TikTok as a campaign tool, has frequently invited TikTok “influencers” to the White House, and even floated the idea of having a special TikTok room in the White House as a TikTok-specific “briefing space” where popular users could have “more consistent access to the president.”

At some point, it should be clear that TikTok is nothing more than an extension of the Chinese Communist Party that allows it to peddle propaganda and promote destructive behavior to children while also leeching data from their devices (more so than any other social media app) and saving it for the CCP. If the pro-terrorism, “pro-Palestine” content and disinformation haven’t done it for you, the app bypassing Google and Apple protections or the app’s parent company spying on American journalists should have already.
We know what TikTok is and what it is doing to the country, particularly to young Americans. We also know that Biden, and most of the Democratic Party, are too scared of young voters to ban the app despite knowing that it would be the responsible thing to do. If we haven’t crossed the threshold yet, what would it take to do so?
