Yep. TikTok is the only major social media app in the US that does not downrank pro-Palestinian content. No one in the US government cared about TikTok until the latest conflict in Israel. This is the only reason for the ban.

- ZoomerCretin 2y agoThere was no bipartisan consensus until Israel's atrocities began last year.
