While this is just old-people being confused and told what to do by Israeli lobbyists, it's worth noting that the US has a great deal of influence over Facebook, many newspapers like the NYT, Washintgon Post, Youtube, and even Twitter. Not total control mind you, but enough where if they want a particular video delisted, or don't like that a trend is happening, they have ways they can shut it down.

Not so with Tiktok (or most of the other less popular social media apps.)
