Republican lawmakers are increasingly concerned about a tide of anti-Israel content on TikTok during the war with Hamas – and they are renewing their push to ban the China-owned app, The Post has learned.
While TikTok is highly secretive about the algorithms that distribute millions of short-form videos on the app daily, there are some telltale signs of the disproportionate amount of anti-Israel content on the app versus videos favoring Palestinians.
For example, the top result for the search phrase “stand with Palestine” had been viewed nearly 3 billion times as of Oct. 26, while the top result for “stand with Israel” was viewed just over 200 million times, according to one analysis that went viral on X.
