Are you trying to say this is good or bad? Reddit's worldnews community seems to have a significant number of Israeli supporters, to the point where fake news.


Reddit is pretty easy to game, a small organised group can push things to the front page with ease, pressure or elect pro-Israel mods, admins and use the anti-Semitism or pro-Hamas card.

Israels professional misinformation arm works well on those platforms but for some reason has not been as effective on TikTok evident by how big the pro-Palestine plight is amoung US teens.


This is because IDF soldiers have been posting extremely disturbing content and it has spread very quickly. A lot of the evidence from the ICJ ruling came from soldiers’ own posts.

Israeli leadership has recently met with TikTok and ads have been put up looking for Hebrew-speaking moderators. A guess would be that it’s _not_ to censor pro-Palestinian activists as much as it is to regulate Israeli content that might “give a bad look”.
