The sheer volume of pro-palestine, pro-hamas (those are not the same), pro-islam and anti-jewish sentiment[0] I am bombarded with on Tiktok tells me that either:
* there is no moderation
* There is absurdly overwhelming pro-terrorism and racist sentiment
* The bot/spam farms are in full war mode.
I find it hard to believe that content is being moderated with any pro-israel bias on tiktok.
Ask the pro Palestinian content creators about how many posts get smothered with zero traction, how many get infractions and how many replace the word Israel with invented words to not be blocked by TikTok’s algorithm. How many now have backup accounts because they are threatened with removal.
The implication here then is: that pro-israeli commentators are not facing lack of traction and infractions?
FWIW: when replying with purely facts to add context I am often reported, sometimes automatically it seems.
Not that I have a pro-israeli stance, I just think these topics are so divisive that we need to at least have some common understanding.
