There's a ton of support for the Palestinian people out there. It would strongly appear to be suppressed on commercial social media sites. I can't say that Tiktok isn't amplifying it, but as you poke around on open social platforms that tend to censor less, you see a lot more Pro-Palestine news and content. If you go through twitter or facebook and find specific regional bloggers, the content is out there but if doesn't seem to pass the algorithm
The issue is not censorship, it's disinformation and Hamas is all over it when allowed.
And conversely the Israeli government is known for its commitment to accuracy and preventing misinformation right?
I agree disinformation is an issue, but it's an issue across the board on both sides of any issue
I'm skeptical that hamas has the resources to spread much misinformation to us. This doesn't feel like a "both sides" time.
They literally have the government platform in Gaza and are for some reason believed at face value despite being more wrong than right. They are also amplified by multiple Arab states and their state run news organizations.
Right. I don't think the Palestinian government has the propaganda resources to match the combined Israeli and US governments.
They absolutely do and they place no limitations on themselves.
