    So much for that “freedom of speech” spiel from the right.

      This is not a right or left problem. There is a certain group of people that will move heaven and earth to ban you in every conceivable way for merely talking about them.

        Ah yes, the global Jewish finance conspiracy that suppresses valuable information. It cannot possibly be that TikTok is used for one-dimensional propaganda and propping up animosity.

        I would defend freedom of speech of course, but then again, I was told I shouldn't have tolerance for intolerance. Ah well, Popper had Jewish roots too and most that use that quote didn't understand it.

        There has been almost zero self-reflection on the Palestinian side on how the latest conflict started. Again, for that matter.

        Seriously, a lot of people should be heavily embarrassed about their position and some about their obsession with the conflict. Israels approach is certainly heavy handed and innocents were killed. It is the logic of conflicts in the middle east. But what we saw right on the 8th of October is pretty much an oath of revelation about what the real motivation of some actors are.

          How the conflict started? You mean decades of random killings by Israel? You know they use Gazan kids for target practice? That’s sick behavior. Sorry but your propaganda doesn’t work anymore. No one outside of Israel buying it. Look at the US polls. https://www.pewresearch.org/politics/2025/10/03/americans-vi...

      LOL, it was never a real stance, just a performative lie.

        > Facist banning facists, who cares?

        You might have to give a bit more context regarding "banning fascist".

          They are saying that Palestinians are facists.

    This is connected to the US takeover of the platform https://www.msn.com/en-in/news/world/tiktok-permanently-bans...

      Is he banned from all TikTok or US TikTok only?

      Will he migrate to Upscrolled?
