TikTok has become a hotbed for anti-Semitism, a new study revealed, with an alarming 912% spike in anti-Semitic content shared on the popular video-sharing platform over the past year.
The study, led by Dr. Gabriel Weimann, a professor of communication at the University of Haifa, in conjunction with Natalie Masri, a research assistant at the IDC Herzliya’s Institute for Counter-Terrorism (ICT), discovered what they described as “a seismic increase” in anti-Semitic tropes, images and rhetoric compared to their 2020 study.
At the end of a four-month systematic content analysis of videos, comments and usernames on the platform, researchers found a 41% increase in anti-Semitic posts and a 1,375% uptick in usernames with anti-Semitic titles, such as @holocaustwasgood or @eviljews.

TikTok's popularity, exposure, and openness are taken advantage of by many extremist, racist, and radical groups including neo-Nazis and anti-Semites, the study notes. […]

79% of all statistics are made up on the spot.
What is the secular basis of Judaism? Practical need; self-interest. What is the worldly religion of the Jew? Huckstering. What is his worldly god? Money.Like Marx himself, the Chicoms would share the belief that Jews need to be “emancipated” from what they claim to be “real Judaism” and all “reactionaries” disposed of.
Very well, then! Emancipation from huckstering and money—consequently from practical, real Judaism—would be the self-emancipation of our time. …
You don’t believe TikTok, a Chicom creation, would allow this?
What does antisemitism have to do with “white guilt”?
“What does antisemitism have to do with “white guilt”?”
The Chinese will allow anything on their platform as long as it doesn’t upset the CCP.
That evades the “white guilt” thing, aside from the fact that the Chinese aren’t white. How is antisemitism associated with “white guilt”?
Never mind antisemitism being part and parcel of Marxism anyhow, which I outlined in post #8.
