While this is just old-people being confused and told what to do by Israeli lobbyists, it's worth noting that the US has a great deal of influence over Facebook, many newspapers like the NYT, Washintgon Post, Youtube, and even Twitter. Not total control mind you, but enough where if they want a particular video delisted, or don't like that a trend is happening, they have ways they can shut it down.
Not so with Tiktok (or most of the other less popular social media apps.)
The US corporate social media platforms are part of the US military-industrial-intellegence complex now. Look at their boards of directors and executives. Look at Twitter. Look at Facebook. Look at Hamilton 68. Look at Reddit:
The moment I was banned from r/geopolitics within 17 minutes, because I mentioned CFR, Bilderberg, USAID, Atlantic Council and Murdoch network being the control pivots of western psyops media, I understood Reddit is fucked down to its core.
“Some wonder why there was such overwhelming support for us to shut down potentially TikTok or other entities of that nature. If you look at the postings on TikTok and the number of mentions of Palestinians relative to other social media sites, it’s overwhelmingly so among TikTok broadcasts. So I’d note that’s of real interest, and the President will get the chance to make action in that regard,” Romney said.
Blinken's statement serves as a poignant reminder of the west's increasing ineptitude and desperate attempts at control. The direct access provided by social media allows people to see through the carefully crafted narratives and manipulated images that once shielded western propaganda from scrutiny.
This unfiltered exposure, coupled with the emotional resonance it evokes, has left western leaders grasping for straws in their attempts to maintain control over public opinion. In a desperate bid to regain some semblance of authority, they're resorting to banning platforms like TikTok which only serves as further evidence of the west's waning influence and growing irrelevance on the world stage.
As a side note, nothing reveals that US is a single party system like Blinken being interviewed by Romney at the fucking McCain institute.
