It is absolutely giving an edge to "evil" (morality doesn't matter in politics, especially international politics, and TikTok isn't good anyway) US social media. China literally blocks all western social media. Everyone plays this game, and TikTok shouldn't be on a pedestal just because you like using it.
OK, I really don't think this has anything to do with it. There are many more places people's are discussing this, like Lemmy for instance, that aren't targeted. I'm sure you can find the same conversations happening on Reddit, Facebook, or whatever other social media. TikTok, though increasingly used for news, is not the only source of news about Palestine, nor is it the best. Short format content will never be good for detailed discussion of news and anyone thinking they're getting thorough news in that format should reconsider.
