Is that guy supposed to be TikTok's CEO? As far as I can tell the CEO's name is Shou Zi Chew and he's from Singapore. Photo: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shou_Zi_Chew https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shou_Zi_Chew Not the same guy as in the video but maybe there is a US division or something? Added: youtube blurb says the guy in the video is Adam Presser, CEO of TikTok US joint venture.

  According to the description the YouTube video this is Adam Presser, and yeah he is the CEO of TikTok’s U.S. joint venture, TikTok USDS.

  He's the CEO of TikTok USDS, the entity that the government required creation of to remove control from China: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/TikTok_USDS https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/TikTok_USDS Worth noting that Oracle (Larry Ellison) is a major investor. He also owns Paramount Global: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Paramount_Global https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Paramount_Global Giving him a truly terrifying reach into western media. He's also attempting to buy Warner Media: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Proposed_acquisition_of_Warner_Bros._Discovery_by_Paramount_Skydance https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Proposed_acquisition_of_Warner...

  It's literally an interview with the TikTok CEO saying these things. He specifically says they will ban anyone who uses Zionist as a pejorative.

    He is saying that the Jewish organizations are helping to identify antisemitic hate speech on the platform. You presenting it as "Jewish organizations telling TikTok who to ban" is just straight up the classic "Jews control the media" trope.
    - slowin 1mo ago
      No he says exactly what I put in the headline. That over two dozen Jewish organizations are feeding them "intelligence" and information on who to ban. In the longer YouTube clip I posted you can see where he says they're banning anyone who uses Zionist in a negative light (not antisemitic!). Please try to argue in good faith.

      So now you can't even dislike or be critical of an ideology that not all jews believe without being an antisemite? That just increases real antisemitism.

        You can do whatever you want, I don't give a shit. Just know that when you say "I hate zionists" or "zionism must be ended" or whatever the kids say these days, it sounds pretty damn dogwhistley.
