The SCOTUS decision was wild too, because it was a fucking 9-0 vote. The decision was unanimous. That’s a word that’s virtually never used to describe the SCOTUS or any kind of government vote. That unanimous decision made it perfectly clear that the government knows something we don’t, and that TikTok had them fucking terrified. My bet is on the genocide being much worse than even TikTok was showing, but TikTok was the only place you could see anything about it that didn’t have a massive “Israel is just helping them root out terrorists” spin.

Yeah, they know who pays their checks.

TikTok showed them incinerating an entire civilization. Not sure what you saw on there.

I wonder how much of all this is just the government realizing that social media is the next world-changing weapon.

Why dig out your nukes or your fighter jets to destroy the enemy when you can instead make them like you?

I said exactly that a few days ago. Got downvoted nicely, hope you have better luck.
