so yes, the content exists on tiktok but there's far less of it on tiktok than other social media apps. and that seems very convenient for the chinese communist party. we reached out to tiktok for comment and they say hashtags are not the only metric for comparison. they say look at video views. and they tell us that the views for hashtag tiananmen are 3.4 million. but views are 24.4 million for hashtag tiananmen square. so somebody saw something about tiananmen square on tiktok. but there are over a billion people on tiktok. so should that view number be higher? so here's what they told us. quote, this comparison of hashtags is unequivocally inaccurate and has been cherry-picked to advance a made-up political agenda. instagram's been around far longer than tiktok and has more users. so in some cases there will be more posts associated with certain hashtags. the fact is this content has been viewed millions of times on tic tac -- tiktok in the past week alone, as anyone can see on the site for themselves. it is common knowledge that hashtags are generated and added to videos by users,

they're using tiktok. they're getting their news from tiktok. at the same time, this same cohort of young americans, more than 50% of them -- this is young americans between the anales of 18 and 24 -- more than 50% of them say they believe that hamas' murder of civilians was justified. let me repeat that a more than 50% of young americans, gen z between the ages of 18 and 24, believe that hamas' murder of civilians was justified. these are the same people who are going on tiktok to get their information to be influenced. and they certainly are being influenced. media of reports have analyzed e anti-semitic, pro-hamas content on tiktok. take a look at the trending hashtags. stand with palestine, 285 million views, impressions, according to the us in site axios in their recent analysis. by contrast, stand with israel, far, far less, 64 million. this doesn't actually begin tell the story. because the truth is, there are other hashtags, other pro-hamas, pro-palestinian sources of information where the views are even larger. take, for instance, free

i love tiktok. everyone who signed it like tiktok.to thank for where we are in our careers. we want to partner tiktok to empower moderators to understand more about anti-semitic tropes and phrases used on the platform and we want to have tiktok be a safe place for jews and everyone on the platform. we love tiktok. this is not -- >> dana: you aren't alone. >> bill: for the last year we've been talking about the influence that the chinese communist party could have over the algorithm that controls tiktok and shared by those based out of the u.s. and singapore that we're free and independent of what is happening out of beijing. you can't prove it. it is an assumption. mike gallagher a republican from wisconsin. he writes today in free press, why do young americans support hamas? look at tiktok. it is brainwashing our youth against the country. it could be this issue, it could be another 1 down the road. it could be an election 12 months from now. >> right now what we're focused on regardless of who owns tiktok or running tiktok is this i

you can't separate the results of that poll from tiktok itself, tiktok is the means where a large portionle are getting their news, searching for news and information, lots of reports showing now that on tiktok, anti-israel content is trending in some cases for to one, in some cases 15 to 1. we are seeing one of the two main pillars of tiktok threats. one is surveillance which we have seen, now we are seeing the second component which is influence. neil: i hasten to add that if young people were told on any venue you get sentiment like that in favor of hamas are palestinians, why use that as an excuse, clearly your point of view to say they got it because there are other sites, social media, i wonder why focus on tiktok? brendan:it matches a pattern of contact. you see the propaganda arm using tiktok to target us politicians for criticism. we saw a study in the senate looking at this event showed the average tiktok user is more likely to be exposed to pro ccp content than other platforms, disclosure in europe showed that tiktok ads have been served in millions of europeans that are pro cc

as far as tiktok, i'm not in the ban tiktok category. i don't know you can hold technology down, something else will pop up. i would rather see young people go on tiktok and win the fight, correct this. if your dad or mom was killed on september 11th or you never got to know your parents, you are the tiktok generation. these 20 year olds need to go on tiktok and be more viral than the woman who started this pro-osama bin laden tiktok. it is in the power of good people to communicate better and that is what i would like to see. rather than banning, maybe one day they will ban it, until that day, let the better message prevail on the hands of americans who love this country. >> dagen: lisa, biden's white house did come out and denounce the bin laden letter to america tiktok trend. one word statement used repugnant. but same time, axios comes out with a report today, biden's team weighs joining tiktok to court young voters. what are they -- the osama bin laden is lit voter, is that who they are eyeballing? that is clearly a large part of th

but more americans are getting news or what they think is news of platforms like tiktok. >> tiktok ishe new google, where they get their information. >> that was the education secretary. so, with these videos flying around, how are september 11th families feeling about it all? let's bring in bret eagleson, 15 years old when his father was killed on 9/11, and terri strata lost her husband in the attacks. let me play one of these influencers, so-called influencers and what they said after finding this letter online and reading it. listen here. >> when i tell you tiktok is going to save this generation, the amount of things we have learned on this app in the past month alone that other people in other generations, they don't understand, they don't get it. tiktok is undoing all of that. >> i need everyone to stop what they are doing right now and read, literally two pages, read letter to america and come back here and let me know what you think. i feel i'm going through an existential crisis. >> john: it's not two pages, it's ten the way i printed it out, terri, what do you think of young

texas pulls tiktok off of state devices and networks and montana decides to ban tiktok entirely. two very closely watched cases involving social media moderation, one in texas, one in florida and the biden administration has weighed in. last friday, two more developments, federal appeals court circuit ways in on a very interesting job voting case about government around content social media platforms carry and whether they cross the line. we would hear floyd talk about a case where his law firm represented twitter. you can still call it twitter, in philadelphia we still call them the philadelphia a's so we can still say twitter. twitter sued california over its moderation law. looking at this vast array of cases, i would like to go to each one of you to see where you view areas of defense. where do we express advocates have to be playing defense? where are the opportunities? we as press lawyers griped that the supreme court has not heard a libel case in 30 years, 20 plus years since there has been any media case but there is a lot going on. where are the opportunities? i will sta

the world of tiktok users is young.xios published tiktok data showing 87% of audience makeup for hashtag stand with palestine, is under age of 35 compared to 66% for hashtag stand with israel posts. someone named little yeg with 200,000 is part of those asking the white house to back off -- >> why would i give my vote to someone supporting genocide? >> laura: which influencers are getting paid to post this? which are organically operate something we don't know. we know tiktok is china way of influencing the debate in the united states whether through foreign posters or u.s. celebrities which have a big following. we know for sure since china believes it owns joe biden or any biden replacement, tiktok will be dominated by anti-trump messaging. >> it is so embarrassing for the republicans that like this guy. maybe he is trying to attack biden, maga will clap for anything as long as trump does it. >> laura: expect throughout 2024 tiktok will toss life lines to biden to save his campaign. if black voters are angry about cri

why i have been concerned about tiktok, let me be clear, my concern with tiktok is not just tiktok specificology companies that come out of china, russia, iran, north korea, cuba and venezuela, where the united states has no ability to put any kind of limitations on these companies. the magic of tiktok is the algorithm kind of knows what you like before you know what you like. that is a very very powerful tool. the chinese would rather shutdown tiktok than have the algorithm released if tiktok were removed to another country and in the case of some of these young folks spreading abhorrent views that somehow justify usama bin laden, terrorist attack that killed more americans than any terrorist attack in history, is just, why did to tiktok say take so long? liz: this is the woman who posted this. up until this week, she was basically known as self quitting her job at amazon because she got emails after hours, pretty classic jen z the i wouldn't paint a lot of youngsters with the same brush as she has spread this letter. makes me wonder because scott galloway, the nyu professor and technologi

tiktok loves drug use.way tiktok hosts groomers who prey on kids that's another conspiracy theory. >> sometimes you can start to feel like you are behind in life but then you realize you are only behind when it comes to capitalist normative notion of time. but now you are in queer time, baby. queer time means deciding for yourself what benchmark that you want to hit according to what timeline or no timeline at all. you may even decide to opt out of owning property, accumulating wealth and preproducing. >> laura: is that real? all right. if none of this makes your hair stand on end. then, remember what we warned you about three years ago. if you downloaded the tiktok app.? you should know that right now china is compiling a digital dossier on you. >> would you recommend that people download that app. on their phones tonight, tomorrow, any time currently? >> only if you want your private information in the hands of the chinese communist party. >> tiktok is hooferg up all the data on their phones, their emails

that's how tiktok works., there's a preponderance of evidence that shows a clear pa a pattern of l by the chinese communist party over tiktok and i'm happy that this year's annual report to congress recommends legislative restrictions on chinese social need ya companies like -- media companies like tiktok but we have a lot of work to do. i'm glad the commission is going to double down on these issues with a hearing next february which i will co-chair and i also recommended a 25% tariff on chinese electronic products because we need supply chain independence from china. china is racing ahead to decouple from us and we don't have time for half measures. maria: well, how do they do it? tell me, jacob. in terms of this surveillance program well underway, i know they have this surveillance balloon and they were hovering over our military installations to try and send information back in real-time. but tiktok is the other issue. you say tiktok is showing users over 96% of content with the hashtag free palestine. co

going back to tiktok it seems very asymmetric.ans are hopeful that we are doing in china the same kind of propagandaizing that china is doing here. i have no sense of that because they are so much stricter on controlling social media but honestly as maria said, what can be done about this? it seems like a growing percentage of the country, growing number of legislators are really opposed to tiktok but then you have president biden who has already lost ground with young people. this would be a total nail in the coffin for him if he came out and opposed it because young people love it. what to do about that? what is the path forward? >> well, for me, i would absolutely support as dozen tore tom cotton and growing number of legislators to ban tiktok outright. we know as we've said it's a privacy data issue, it's utilized for misinformation campaigns. we have to build up confidence by deve dev developing nations. this us another thing china has been using social media platforms saying the u.s. dollar will have no global value soon and

will tiktok face any consequences? we will ask wisconsin republican congressman mike gallagher next. >> how upsetting this is to the 9/11 community. they are misinformed and uneducated and ignorant on the subject. is made for people like sam, who make- everyday products, designed smarter. like a smart coffee grinder, that orders fresh beans for you. oh, genius! for more breakthroughs like that- i need a breakthrough card. like ours! with 2.5% cash back on purchases of $5,000 or more. plus unlimited 2% cash back on all other purchases. and with greater spending potential, sam can keep making smart ideas- a brilliant reality! the ink business premier card from chase for business. make more of what's yours. luis fonsi: st. jude shares the breakthroughs and makes with doctors and researchers worldwide so more kids with cancer everywhere can grow up to be whatever they want to be. tina was a star at her quinceanera. jordan is a high school track star. haley became a physician assistant and an astronaut. marlo thomas: give t

reporter: tiktok denies they're in com of the content saying it's driven by users saying tiktok does not promote one side of an issue over another. our recommendation algorithm does not take sides, but tiktok is in more trouble after that disturbing trend where tiktokers were praises osama bin laden, tiktok says content praising osama bin laden violates our rules on supporting terrorism and says the content is not unique to tiktok. but lawmakers say this is proof it's time to act before it's too late. >> for someone on tiktok to somehow suggest this is america's fault or that bin laden who killed thousands of innocent americans was right is absolutely disgusting and further evidence that we need to ban tiktok or force a sale. reporter: any congressional action on tiktok might have to wait till after the holidays into the new year and tiktok's parent company byte dance is not wasting time and trying to buy time by ramping up the lobbying efforts so far this year they've spent $7 million on federal lobbying and that's a record high for the company. liz. elizabeth: great reporting as al

to a poll ben a third of americans between age 18-29 get their news from tiktok. i'm wondering when you think about that scope and that cross section, is there an added danger at the prospect it could gogo viral and be quickly absord and consumed? >> you know, it's interesting we just lived through this decade in media where facebook and twitter were the dominant platforms for information for news and a lot of what you've got is people who you thought were crazy or you hated screaming at you and one of the things that made tiktok so popular is that it doeoesn't do that. it serves you stuff it knows you're going to like and reinforces your biases and keeps knew your bubble and part of the reason we haven't seen this much on tiktok it's happening in private with crazy stuff discussed on tiktok it's not always on the surface but in this case it is. >> ben i wonder, feedback from people use tiktok they find it condescending to think there's snobbery where to get the news from and it's up to you to decide what it ought to be. do you think it's snobbery imposed on peopl

i have relatives who do business on tiktok and they do business on tiktok because it is good.od at beating the competition? i go back to that. there's a price to be paid for doing that. >> the good on things that don't matter to him, we are raised in business but they are not good when they are playing with algorithms. there's 10 times as much information on tiktok that praises hamas than there is that praises israel. if that isn't algorithm manipulation, the audiences are younger people. that's the influencing business. that's how they are being influenced and i think it is a very dangerous thing. if there weren't the chinese government i would put them in the same boat as facebook and tiktok and everyone else. i would not be in favor of banning them. i would be in favor of another thing but not banning them. tiktok is different. they are owned by the greatest enemy of the united states. i don't trust the chinese on anything. stuart: you made your case, thank you very much. come back soon. now there's this. nikki haley is walking back her claim that all people should be verif

elizabeth: gop senators and lawmakers again demand a nationwide ban on tiktok.s being used as propaganda arm of chinese communist party and it's being used by hamas to manipulate teenagers, gen z and millennials to protest and ramp it up. hillary vaughn is live on capitol hill with the story. hillary. reporter: good evening, liz. republicans in congress are more determined than ever to ban tiktok or at least force a sale to an american company that controls the algorithm as it's becoming increasingly clear that tiktok plays a huge part of now young americans view current events and it's the number within way to get the news and if they're consuming propaganda and content that's not factually accurate and have political consequences and tiktok has seen a surge in bots pushing fake content on the apps since the october 7 terror attack and they've removed more than 24 million fake accounts and half a million fake comments related to the israel hamas war so clearly someone is trying to use the app as a way to sway public opinion. after reports claim that had anti-se

let's go back to tiktok for a moment. 40% of young people were on tiktok between 18 and 24. get all of their news from tiktok. a spokesperson for tiktok telling fox news digital, quote, content promoting this letter clearly violates our rules on supporting any form of terrorism. the spokesperson also pushed back on claims that the videos praising the 9/11 mastermind have gone viral, adding that the number of videos on the platform were small and that the incident is not unique to tiktok, noting that videos have also appeared across multiple platforms. still, we've heard from republicans like mike gallagher, who say this is just more evidence of why tiktok should be banned here in the us. trace yeah, a lot more evidence. marianne, thank you. let's bring in stephanie hamel, media research center, tv contributing writer and erin elmore, attorney and turning point usa contributor. thank you both for coming on here. i mean, this topic here is getting a lot of play on social media and everywhere else. and if you're wondering why some young americans on the tiktok say they sympathi

, tiktok told fox news digital promotes terrorism.oring the content posted on the chinese owned app. >> no one china is using this to manipulate public opinion, they are doing this to foment this court, it's an effort to use the diatribe in ways that are not productive for the conversations themselves but their harmful to the united states and israel and continue this anti-somatic flow that we see happening unfortunately not across united states but across the world it's really disturbing but it points to what tiktok is being used for and i think it calls into question what should be our public policy concerning tiktok i don't think tiktok serves any useful purpose i'm sure there will be sun the disagree with me and when you look at the outcome you put the diatribe up and what sincerity had its impact, now that we we're going to take it down, we know china is going to use that as a manipulative tool in the information sphere, that to me to guide our public policy and how we deal with that. maria: they are doing it again during this is

so, can you clarify your stance running for president, tiktok, are you for a ban of tiktok?, i think what we need to do, we need to be honest with them. you don't tell them this is what we are going to do and not explain why. the reason we want to ban tiktok, it's an app that goes and has access to your contacts, to your financial information, to your camera, to your recorder, to everything. it's infiltration, we know that. it's will go the bin laden letter was put on tiktok that he wrote a week after 9/11, and it justfies why they did what they did on 9/11 trying to influence young voters. when you tell them the reason, they will understand. india banned tiktok, nepal banned tiktok, they saw the social disruption happening by foreign actors. and i think we need to do that. what we want social media to do is be a force where they can have freedom of speech but not have foreign intrusion in the process. and what we are seeing is a lot of foreign intrusion that's trying to cause distractions, divisions and chaos in america. that's the part we are trying to stop. and we want th

i am banned from tiktok for a 13-second video that broke zero rules. >> bill: i didn't know tiktok bannednybody. >> i these ideologies are making their way into the mouths of our youth. the thousands that were killed during 9/11, and tens of thousands all across the world -- >> bill: "the new york post" cover, "world gone mad, man." commiserating with osama bin laden's message -- what do you think? >> i don't find any of this shocking. these tiktok users have been brainwashed to hate america. it should not be surprising to anybody that they would support somebody like osama bin laden. they are staging pro hamas rallies on college campuses and in big cities across the country. they are obsessed. that's putting it lightly, the oppressor versus oppressed mentality. they think any terrorist organization or group, person, no matter how grotesque their acts are, they are commendable, praiseworthy. it's scary how trendy it has become to hate america. i think the groundwork for world war iii is being laid right now on social media. unless something is done to stop it, you mentioned getting conser

as for tiktok, i have long said that we should ban tiktok.hink the last few weeks have shown why it is so urgent. not just that it puts the data privacy and security of all americans at risk, but now it is a propaganda machine for chinese communists. a good rule of thumb is if we would not have let communist russia do it in the cold war, we should not let communist china do it now. you seemed tiktok stoke these anti-somatic pro hamas rallies. osama bin laden had a point about attacking america on 9/11. just imagine what they would do. if congress passes a major aid bill next month for ukraine and israel and taiwan to secure our border we should also include a flat out ban on to talk in america as well. maria: calling for a flat out ban as are so many governors across the country banding to talk certainly from their state government. at the same time, joe biden and the democrats want to use to talk for their campaigning for the upcoming election. >> joe biden has banded. we passed legislation that ban tiktok on u.s. government devices. the cam

you know, this letter went fairly viral on tiktok. the guardian had posted it years ago and got hundreds of thousands of used to their website. obviously, in the defense of young people, this was not just young people, i would say it was a diverse array of -- who for who this was all new, and were just totally interested in fascinated by it. it was not an enormous phenomenon, and in fact we do live in this moment when really dark strange theories or spilling out into the public in ways they did not used to, and i think america has always had these very weird occurrence, and now they're much more visible. i think we should also be a little careful about amplifying them. in fact i think a lot of the attention to these totally nuts videos came actually after from journalist like us seeing them and saying what is this? >> well you know, the guardian you mention actually had a link to the letter, and then had an article that provided context to analyze it more so. they then pulled it down, and that fueled some conspiracies about, wait, the

americans watch 3 billion hours of tiktok a month, only a third get their news here.ng entire generation, no fact checking on tiktok and the video does not make for a history lesson. >> tammy: it doesn't. dagen, they are morones, that is not fault of tiktok, this is generation since september 11th. 20-somethings are responding to this because of lack of education. they know pronouns, they don't know about this. doesn't this show us the void, intellectual void, emotional void, reality void if one tiktok video can sweep some young people into thinking, yeah, that is right. >> dagen: just found out that almost one-third of young americans, 32% of americans ages 18 to 29 get at least some news from tiktok. what an incredible advertisement for gen-z. hey, we're not ego maniacal layabouts, we're pretty evil. good luck getting a job, you morons. >> tammy: this is the key, but this is know beyond tiktok about the generation itself. >> no doubt, it is part and parcel, you have chinese communist party that is using tiktok to brainwash young people. i think they are mocking us a

so i ask for tiktok -- i've -- long said that we should ban tiktok and i think that last few weeks have so urgent that we ban it. it is not just that it puts data privacy security of americans at risk but now it's turned into a prop propaganda machine for chinese communist a good rule of thumb if we wouldn't have let communist russia do it we shopght let china do it now because you've seen china stoke these anti-semitic pro-hamas rallies you even mention how tiktok boosted videos saying that osama bin laden had a point about attacking america on 9/11 just imagine what tiktok would do if we ever came to blows with china over taiwan. so if congress passes -- a major aid bill next month for ukraine, and israel and taiwan, to secure our border we should also include a flat out ban on tiktok in america as well. maria: is it not extraordinary you're calling for flat out ban and governors across country banning tiktok certainly from their state government of using but at the same time joe biden and the democrats want to use tiktok for their campaigning? for the upcoming election -- >> yeah. ma

gathering all of this data that it collects from tiktok users.allow it to be collecting data on american young people and american users on the other hand let's recognize if we do that this is still going to be a public diplomacy tool of the chinese communist party they will used to stir up opinion around the world against the united states and our values and advise of the west. we couldn't ban it here and i am all for it but we've got a bigger problem china is our resolute adversary and they will use this tool against us all around the world for books writing about the wall street journal editorial board said it tiktok is a particular case given his chinese ownership and the weight now speaks to america's youth. with the u.s. have let the soviet union by mtv in the 1980s? want any influence they had at our lives at that point? >> no question. i agree with karl on this i think the chinese influence corrosive in terms of young people. i will tell you what shocks me is a news person it's like one third of young people in this country have tiktok as

and then montana decides let's just and tiktok entirely. two very closely watched cases involving social media moderation, one in texas, one in florida, and finally now the biden administration has weighed in. and then last friday, two more developments. a federal appeals court of the fifth circuit ways in with a very interesting case about government contacts with social media platforms around content they carry and whether they cross the line, and then a case that we will hear floyd talk about where his law firm representing twitter, we stop -- we can still call them twitter. we still call them the philadelphia a's. they sued the state of california over its moderation law. looking at this vast array of cases, i would like to go to each one of you to see where you view areas of defense. where do we as press advocates have to be playing defense? and then where are the opportunities? what we as press lawyers often gripe that the supreme court has not heard a bible case in 30 years and it has been 20+ years since there has been any media cas

maria: liz, your thoughts on tiktok?his is a soft war that china is delivering against america with all of this propaganda and it's not just tiktok. it's all of, you know, their social media or it's media, i guess it's state controlled propaganda or state controlled, quote, unt quote, media. >> i think the case against tiktok is blatant. it comes down partly to the fact they have very different presentations, very different information going to chinese young people than they do to american young people. what they put out in china is sort of healthy, it's positive, makes everyone feel good about their country, about themselves, their bodies, exactly the opposite of what they broadcast here which is obviously very negative about the united states, negative about overseas, et cetera, but congressman, i think to your point there does not seem to be much will on capitol hill to get rid i this thing. i get that. everybody uses it, all these young people. democrats are worried about young people anyway. what are we going to do

let's start with tiktok videos. videos seem a bit more polished, trying to play into viral trends. meanwhile, videos from bloggers in gaza and pro—palestinian users at home seem to trigger a more positive reaction from young users. tiktoks using the hashtag #istandwithisrael have racked up more than 240 million views overall, compared with more than 870 million views for videos using the hashtag #istandwithpalestine — similar to other video—based sites with younger users. one israeli soldier called daniel makes tiktok videos like this one, with 2.1 million views. but, since then, his views have decreased significantly. daniel has had support, criticism and anti—semitic abuse. he told me, "i am not taking personally the hate reactions "because, first of all, i did nothing wrong. "second, people around the world are so dedicated "to hating israel, it doesn't matter what is in my content." pro—palestinian creators like ariana share their views from their bedroom — like she does in the us. she experienced criticism and

. >>> terrorists turned tiktok influencer. i'm michael smerconish in philadelphia. against the backdrop of anti-semitism running rampant online and off, osama bin laden was trending this week. dozens of young americans have posted videos on tiktok expressing sympathy with bin laden, the terrorist who orchestrated the september 11th attacks after they discovered a two decades old letter he wrote critiquing the united states, including its support of israel. among many heinous quotes, your law is law of the rich and wealthy people who hold sway in their political parties and fund their election campaigns with their gifts. behind them stand the jews, who control your policy, media and economy. there's a lot more to it. it's about 4,000 words, but you get the gist. it began to recirculate this week on tiktok, where videos on the topic garnered 14 million views by thursday. now according to tiktok, that doesn't represent trending according to their metrics. the pllt form said that videos violate its rules against supporting any form of terrorism, but the number of videos

i know for sure that tiktok the algorithm in tiktok will favor people who are promoting their tiktokproducts. >> reporter: with holiday shopping set to kick in earlier than ever this year, offering discounts and coupons to buyers on the platform but it's not all smooth shopping. even though the rules require several verification couples from sellers, but some complain about products that never show up at all. >> concerned about brand-new accounts, i would be worry about accounts that don't have much activity with their followers. >> reporter: meanwhile, tiktok is facing bans in schools and local governments nationwide over concerns about the chinese-owned company's handling of user data, tiktok promising users a secure checkout process saying that all protected u.s. user data is stored in the u.s. the surge in orders was overwhelming, forcing her to close her tiktok shop for now. >> i've seen it firsthand the success that it has, the downside is that because it's a new platform, again, it has the kinks in it. when i open it up in future, yes, absolutely. >> reporter: so if you're on

influencer whose tiktok post on the bin laden letter went viral. so americans watch about 3 billion hours of tiktok every month, a third get their news there. and that's why this incident in the last 24 hours on social media scares a lot of people. the post linked to a letter written by bin laden 20 years ago on the web page of a british newspaper. says jews have no right to be in israel and blames america for the violence in the middle east. she says, i need everyone to stop wa they are doing right now and go read the letter. because "i'm going through like an existential crisis." well, people did. that video got some 2 million views and 200,000 likes with most saying they, too, feel angry, manipulated and lied to by the media, and u.s. schools. >> for someone on tiktok to somehow suggest that this is america's fault or that bin laden, who killed thousands of innocent americans was right, is absolutely disgusting and further evidence that we need to ban tiktok. >> so the conversation then migrated from tiktok over to reddit and twitter, hundreds o

pete: tiktok only, is what i'm talking about. i initially was no tiktok, and i'm not sure where i stand right now. i talked to my daughter who posts conservative videos, her are videos are more censored on instagram than on tick texas. -- tiktok. she says conservative voices are less likely to be censored on tiktok. so again, i'm not saying i understand what the chinese are doing. i get there's this whole other thing going on, but i think it's a lot more nuanced, and i don't know if you shut down tiktok, if that doesn't mean all this other stuff going to happen. not going to happen. pete: i think it will. it's just stuff that you can do. rachel: interesting debate. let's continue that debate if at some point.
