On 13 March, the US House voted to ban TikTok. Before we dive into the nitty gritty of its implications, let’s first revisit the role of social media platforms in carrying Palestinian news since October and how it’s all connected
People, Palestinians - primary sources - post footage they film on the ground and send out via TikTok et al - that’s raw footage. Like I’m still lost on what were you trying to say with that drone comment.
Are you going to discredit footage shot from a video camera because “video cameras don’t spawn in air in real life, dude”?
I deem it questionable based on that. The internet is full of videos that are cut conveniently or shown without context in order to paint a dishonest picture.
Does Tiktok have a significant amount of pro-Palestinian propaganda? I honestly don’t know, I avoid that thing like a plague.
It has a lot of footage of the ruins and interviews with kids in Gaza. Which in turn has influenced the other kids on Tiktok.
Half of Gaza is under 18, it’s really not surprising there are a lot of them with Tiktok accounts.
It’s raw footage, homie.
Drones don’t spawn in air in real life, dude. So no, it’s not raw foorage.
?
Just so we’re on the same page here - what exactly do you think raw footage means?
The complete unchanged footage. What do you think it means?
People, Palestinians - primary sources - post footage they film on the ground and send out via TikTok et al - that’s raw footage. Like I’m still lost on what were you trying to say with that drone comment.
That doesn’t quite track with this footage, unless the drone is Palestinian.
That’s not mutually exclusive with being shot from a drone, though
Are you going to discredit footage shot from a video camera because “video cameras don’t spawn in air in real life, dude”?
Also, while we’re at it, what’s your definition of “propaganda”?
I deem it questionable based on that. The internet is full of videos that are cut conveniently or shown without context in order to paint a dishonest picture.
It seems like your definition is broad enough to render all potential forms of media as such, in which case it’s not a very useful definition.
