TikTok insiders slam alleged bias against pro-Israel posts claim company: 'serve Hamas’ narrative'

A memo sent to TikTok management from an employee in the Israel office shows how the Chinese-owned social media company has actively worked against Israelis who were killed or taken hostage by Hamas on Oct.7.

Mostly short video clips depicting the lives of ordinary civilians and children held captive by a U.S.-designated terror organization, multiple ads were placed on Meta platforms Facebook and Instagram, but the Chinese-owned video-sharing app, TikTok, refused to accept any of them, deeming them "too political."

Meanwhile, the social media platform, which has faced accusations of not doing enough to clamp down on hate-filled antisemitic and anti-Israel content and which Jewish employees at the company revealed recently allows politically motivated employees to enforce its moderating policies, readily accepted paid campaigns highlighting the plight of Palestinian children in Gaza.
