Yup. And it's why pro-Palestine videos are pushed out of the algorithm. The only reason one of my recent videos on Palestine went viral is because I didn't have a #Palestine hashtag. The purchase and money-driven censorship of media right now (now with additional pressure with the #tiktokban) represents one of the gravest threats to democracy and free speech that I've seen in my lifetime.

@IveyJanette Well just as I ignore other polls, I'll ignore that one. But at least it's positive.
