TikTok now in the hands of pro-'Israel' billionaires
After months of controversy, TikTok has been sold to US billionaires, including Larry Ellison, Rupert Murdoch, and Jeff Yass. The sale comes after the app amplified pro-Palestine content following October 7, with hashtags like #FreePalestine trending worldwide. With new ownership deeply tied to pro-"Israel" interests, TikTok’s future as a platform for dissenting voices is in jeopardy. This isn’t just a corporate deal; it’s a calculated move to control global narratives on social media.
