TikTok Pushing Pro-Palestine Posts, Can Make Children Support Hamas: Rep. Gallagher

TikTok’s influence on young people in the United States has been a concern for lawmakers for some time. Recent data indicates that the Chinese-owned social media platform is promoting anti-Israel content, potentially bolstering support for the Hamas terrorist group in the United States. Rep. Mike Gallagher (R-Wis.) expressed in an op-ed that many young Americans are backing Hamas due to TikTok, citing a poll that revealed over half of college-aged Americans believed Hamas’s attacks on Israel on Oct. 7 were justified.
