Over the past two years, Israel has lost the support of the American public and is now losing one of its last bulwarks in the political arena — prominent voices in the mainstream media.
I’ve thought about this a lot. There are plenty of things to blame social media for but I still think there’s a net positive when you consider being able to quickly share information and all the exposure to people from different cultures, religions, and ethnicities.
Well, we’re on federated social media here so it doesn’t apply here, but the big tech owned social media certainly can suppress things they don’t want spread.
That’s actually why TikTok got canned. They didn’t really care about the data collection, it’s because they couldn’t force TikTok to moderate to their liking like Facebook, Google, and Twitter since they were foreign based.
Which is also why they sold its majority ownership to Larry Ellison (Oracle) who is infamously a hardcore Zionist.
But seriously, the amount of content that gets deleted and whitewashed online is insurmountable. OSINT becomes a pain in the ass because you literally cannot find the origin of media because the user was either wiped and banned or shared on private channels like WhatsApp or Telegram where you’ll never find the original person who shared it
Luckily, everyone mass reposts which makes it near impossible to remove the content itself, but then tou have to use alternative methods to develop a timeline, authenticity, context, etc.

That’s the single best thing about the internet in my opinion as well.
