Under the TikTok deal, its Chinese owners will sell U.S. operations to a group of pro-Israel billionaires eager to censor critical content.

    They already did.

    A few years ago, Osama Bin Laden’s open letter to the American people was being shared and people had their posts deleted.

    It was being shared because the first reason he lists for attacking on 9/11 was America’s support for Israel.

          The Chinese state is souring against Israel, likely the operators of the app were also against Israel considering how they allowed anti-zionist content on the platform.

      So the solution to algorithm being dictated by billionaires or governments with little to no transparency is to move to another one?

      Maybe its better to stay by the sidelines instead of constantly rushing to join the next new social media. Perhaps its better to view them more from a position of an observer than a participant when it comes to the meta, tiktok, twitter type social media run by big centralized money or governments backing them.

        No, it’s not even like Tiktok at all. The vast majority of the content is in Mandarin and if you aren’t Chinese your not going to know the asinine culture rules and get banned for something you thought was silly, but they take very seriously.

            Same, but it’s just because I don’t comment or post as I don’t speak Mandarin, so the majority of the people wouldn’t even know what I am saying. What’s the point you know?

              Some people provide translated subtitles and the app does have a built in translator function. I found it’s enough to converse, but definitely niche.

        for non-chinese

        or for Chinese that don’t want to be censored?

        Most platforms have some kind of moderation. But I’m sure a Chinese platform will be quite selective about a particular set of topics and themes.
