    Does Tiktok have a significant amount of pro-Palestinian propaganda? I honestly don’t know, I avoid that thing like a plague.

      It has a lot of footage of the ruins and interviews with kids in Gaza. Which in turn has influenced the other kids on Tiktok.

      Half of Gaza is under 18, it’s really not surprising there are a lot of them with Tiktok accounts.

          @WarmSoda um, the above wasn’t my “feelings,” it was a description of the content of TikTok based on observations.

          My description of the content of Facebook is that it skews older, as well as boomers and gen X it has millennials who are fast ageing out of being a youth demographic.

          Facebook is more text-heavy and link-based so its users are more likely to repost news and blog articles. Some of the boomers are not very media-savvy. Boomers also seem more likely to support Israel, I would link this to the fact they still consume network news.

          Ignore this guy. He’s a plug or just a normal useful idiot.

          There’s a trade war going on between the US and China, and it’s important the US has people like him to muddy the waters.

              That’s not mutually exclusive with being shot from a drone, though

              Are you going to discredit footage shot from a video camera because “video cameras don’t spawn in air in real life, dude”?

              Also, while we’re at it, what’s your definition of “propaganda”?

                I deem it questionable based on that. The internet is full of videos that are cut conveniently or shown without context in order to paint a dishonest picture.

                  It seems like your definition is broad enough to render all potential forms of media as such, in which case it’s not a very useful definition.

              People, Palestinians - primary sources - post footage they film on the ground and send out via TikTok et al - that’s raw footage. Like I’m still lost on what were you trying to say with that drone comment.

                That doesn’t quite track with this footage, unless the drone is Palestinian.
