I am much less concerned about foreign news reaching the American people than the outright lies being spread in the American news without people batting an eye. And the fact that a foreign government (Israel) literally owns our government.

Oh so a chinese news source pointed this out to the youth? Good. It shows that we are so sick of not being able to trust OUR news that we’re looking elsewhere. Banning TikTok won’t fix that. I won’t go back to CNN or Fox if you take away that option. I’ll continue to look elsewhere

Who’s next? Al Jazerra? The hindustan times? The BBC?

Are you actually fucking insane? How does the Israeli government literally own the US government? That's not even true figuratively. What the fuck are you saying

AIPAC bragging about how they lobby (which we all know to mean bribe) every US leader. Doesn't get more blatant than that.

A promotional video of a lobby organization says they're doing a good job, therefore the Israeli government owns the US government?

We can all see the results where almost every politician on both sides fully support israel, even as they're committing genocide.
