They were tying their sidelocks in knots before then. They were already envious of the Chinese having the killer social media app and (at that point) they were getting none of the data, couldn't tweak the algorithms, couldn't censor, etc. Personally I thought we were on the cusp of the jews introducing a new social media app to take its place. Sidestep TikTok entirely with New Thing™ that routes all traffic to TelAviv. I guess the apple is falling farther from the tree and the younger yids aren't as clever as the old ones. Zuck is even a washed up has-been.
Then 10/7/23 happened. TikTok creators were laughing at Israelis and video after video was saying they got what was coming to them. That's when they really started making moves in earnest.
They totally flipped the political landscape of the US after the Biden Admin didn't show a lot of interest in helping them glass Gaza in retaliation. The months following was when the "vibe shift" was born. Trump became the golden boy again and the Likudnik jignats really gained ascendancy. Fast forward 2 years of Dresden-tier bombing of Gaza and as they're about to deliver the final kill-shot, they get a yid in place to make sure none of it gets exposure. They can't very well dronestrike 50 million TikTokers in every country the way they can journalists.
