In a Tuesday episode of the This Past Weekend podcast, Von dismissed any national security concerns being floated about the China-owned TikTok platform, arguing the prevalence of content related to Israel’s bombing of Gaza — where thousands of civilians have been killed — is the real reason the government is uncomfortable.
“I believe that they don’t want people sharing the truth about the genocide in Palestine and that’s why they’re doing it. I believe that that’s what it is and TikTok is one of those places where people can still do that. And they want to own it. They want to own it, dude,” the podcaster and comedian said.
Don’t bother. Logic has no quarter here. If the ban predates the conflict we’ll just do some gymnastics to prove it was in fact still about Gaza
Oh this is a sassy one. Just for context, when did the Israel/Gaza conflict begin? I’m so OOTL.
