> losing the ability to criticize Israel or the current administration

When did Americans lose that ability? I didn't hear about this happening.

> could be argued that the rise in pro-palestine awareness post Oct 7 is in part to TikTok. Thats likely going away now so Americans on the whole are left worse off.

The only thing that changed is that China can't choose what you get shown, do you think that the pro-palestine videos are only there due to Chinese influence?

You haven't heard about the government pressuring universities to prevent students protesting Israel? Or about anti-BDS laws?

It fell in between the razer thin "terms & conditions" of most American service providers and the the main point of this thread: controlling the algorithm to suppress these thoughts. I will concede that Americans can still set up their own online service and yell into an empty room.

anything that China does not find offensive is there.
