don't let anyone tell you the tiktok ban is not directly related to Palestine because they're literally admitting it:

Blinken blames TikTok and social media for disrupting Israel’s narrative of war in Gaza

Social media sites like TikTok are partly to blame for widespread criticism of Israel’s war effort against Hamas in Gaza, according to US Secretary of State Antony Blinken. The comments came as part of a conversation at the McCain Institute’s 2024 Sedona Forum in Sedona, Arizona, between Secretary Blinken and US senator Mitt Romney. The Utah Republican asked the top diplomat why “the PR has been so awful” against Israel since the beginning of the 7 October conflict. “Why has Hamas disappeared in terms of public perception?” he continued. “An offer is on the table for a ceasefire and yet the world is screaming about Israel.” Mr Blinken said that part of the reason for that dynamic was a changing media environment, where people no longer all read from the same authoritative news sources and instead learn about current events on chaotic social media feeds.

[...]

The comments echoed a wider narrative that’s been put forth about critics of Israel in the US, particularly on college campuses: that their criticisms don’t stem from the facts of the conflict, and instead are the product of alarming outside influence. New York mayor Eric Adams recently accused students at universities of falling under the sway of “outside agitators,” though the NYPD has offered little compelling evidence to support that charge. Protesting students interviewed by The Independent said they had been moved to act by seeing images of destruction and suffering caused by Israel in Gaza, with the full backing of the US.

Senate Bill 686 of the 118th Congress (The Restrict Act)

I’m honestly a bit disappointed here at Tumblr for not talking about this bill more, so I’m going to share what I’ve learned about it with you all

The link above goes to a pdf file going over the entire bill that has only been introduced atm as shown in the image just above from congress.gov.

Now, people only see this as a means to ban Tiktok, but that’s just the mask this truly cruel bill is hiding behind.

To boil it all down, this bill lets the Secretary of Commerce to have the power to ban…basically ANYTHING on the internet.

This includes hardware like video game consoles or Wifi networks as well as software and applications such as VPNs.

It also gives the government the power to monitor, basically everything you do online, private messages, posts on social media, streams, you name it, they can monitor it.

And the punishment for using, say, a VPN to access Tiktok, will result in 20 years in prison with a 1/4 million fine, a full million if you did it on purpose.

Now, I please ask you all to go to your representatives and tell them about how you don’t want this bill to be passed whatsoever. Heck, if you have to, (passively) threaten them with supporting their opponent in the next primary in any way they can. Just remember to be respectful and civil.

If you don’t want to do that, I respect that decision, and I understand that you wouldn’t want to deal with politics. But, I at least ask you to signal boost this post by reblogging it to your own followers and give any other thoughts about this that you might have in the tags or just normally.

I don’t want this lovable hellsite we all call home and made such good friends and memories on to be under the eyes of those pedophilic heathens who can’t seem to even know how to unlock a smartphone.

I thank you all for reading this, and I hope you all have a good day/night.

I know the IDF have lost their marbles and gotten crazy arrogant, but I’m starting to wonder how even they can justify this on any level:

Wait, so Hamas are now lurking in cemeteries? And they are letting IDF soldiers post about this on social media. South Africa preparing its case right now:

News you've might've missed on Palestine because of distracting events: (@dumbbirchtree on TikTok).

Your feed may be less populated by Palestinian news but that doesn't mean things aren't still happening - in fact things are getting worse.

Keep your eyes on Palestine.

USamericans are absolutely fucking infuriating with their apparent belief and insistence that the US is the only country in the world that has cultural differences within the country itself

#brought to you by the fact that i keep seeing videos to do with this kind of stuff on tiktok #and my boyfriend is fed up of me ranting to him about it #newsflash: every single fucking country has different cultures within the country #not exclusive to the us #and states in the usa arent comparable to countries in the eu

If you weren't Pro-Palestine already, I hope the fact that the US government is literally trying to censor people that don't agree with them opens your eyes

#if you have a solid footing in your stance you don't try and suppress dissent #because you know your facts and viewpoint will stand up to the scrutiny #only dictators who know they're in the wrong #and know that an educated population will no longer blindly follow their BS pull shit like this #free Palestine #live laugh love tiktok #from the land to the sea #palestine will be free #gaza #social justice #western imperialism #usa #good omens #loki #brokeback mountain #justice #genshin impact

It targets one social media company over others that have the exact same issues. A better way to safeguard our data would be to create comprehensive consumer-privacy laws that would require apps like TikTok, as well as American companies like Facebook, to face more restrictions on how they handle user data.

I don't like TikTok, I don't like how it's specifically designed to be addictive, and I don't like how it harvests tons of data tied to each individual user.

But, this isn't the way to go about killing TikTok. "You can keep building an addictive product that harvests data as long as it's owned by an American company" is a dangeroud precedent to set.

Now that it's passed the House, we can't let it pass the Senate.
