Oh, and since I missed it: So Biden didn’t say anything about how many anti genocide sentiment was on Tiktok, actually it was Blinken, oh wait, he didn’t say that at all, he said “You have a social media ecosystem environment in which context, history, facts get lost, and the emotion—the impact of images—dominates.” I would 100% agree with that. That’s of the problems in my experience with talking with people who get their picture of the world from TikTok. There are other anti-establishment news sources which lend themselves a lot better to depth of understanding in addition to, yes, seeing the imagery and emotion which for something like Gaza is an important part to include.
Then, Romney said, “Some wonder why there was such overwhelming support for us to shut down potentially TikTok or other entities of that nature. If you look at the postings on TikTok and the number of mentions of Palestinians relative to other social media sites—it’s overwhelmingly so among TikTok broadcasts.” Which is at least vaguely adjacent to what you said, but also is (1) just someone who’s not in the executive branch who’s just kind of guessing (2) not at all the same as “how much anti genocide sentiment was on it”.

What do you think Romney meant by that?
