Report: TikTok refused to run ads by families of Gaza hostages for being ‘too political’
Add ToI as a Preferred Source on GoogleChinese social media platform TikTok refused to run a paid ad campaign by families of hostages held in Gaza by Palestinian terrorists and demanding their release, deeming it “too political,” Fox News has reported.
The same campaign ran on Facebook and Instagram, the report says.
It comes amid widespread charges that TikTok is favoring pro-Palestinian voices and serving as an echo chamber for anti-Israel sentiment.
A statement by Communications Minister Shlomo Karhi says he has contacted TikTok’s management and demanded that they change their decision.
