Yes because nobody is talking about the Palestine/Israel situation on any other social media platforms. /s

But are they?

I know they are on Fediverse sites, but is it really being discussed on Twitter and Facebook?

Reddit, twitter, Facebook, Twitch, YouTube, tiktok and now Lemmy. I can't think of a single social media site I've used in the last year that didn't have people talking about Palestine in one way or another.

It's why I doubt the claim that the US government is specifically trying to ban tiktok because of the Palestine/Israel situation. They wanted TikTok gone before the October 7th 2023 attack.

I believe it's more likely a nation security issue being owned by a Chinese company than anything to do with Palestine whatsoever.

This just shows that you haven't been paying attention. Pro-palestine content is moderated off those platforms as "anti-semitic". Raise your hand below if reddit has banned you for being anti-zionist.
