   In the last few weeks, Elon Musk reinstated the account of America First   
   influencer Nick Fuentes on X, formerly Twitter. Speech restrictions on the   
   platform have gradually been eased since Musk’s acquisition in 2022, to the   
   point that pro-White and “antisemitic” content now regularly go viral.   
      
   Simultaneously, the US Federal Government has taken the unprecedented step   
   of passing a law that will ban TikTok, unless its Chinese parent company   
   divests ownership to Jewish investors.   
      
   This drastic move was made on behalf of America’s Jewish community, which   
   blames TikTok for Israel losing the PR war in Gaza by allowing the   
   proliferation of pro-Palestine and anti-Zionist content in the wake of   
   October 7th.   
      
   This begs the question, why does a surge of anti-Zionist material on TikTok   
   warrant an immediate ban, while X/Twitter has largely escaped scrutiny   
   despite its own surge of anti-Zionist—and in some cases pro-White   
   material—in recent months?   
      
   The answer can be found in this year’s Infinite Dial survey, conducted by   
   Edison Research. The survey tracks social media use in the US by conducting   
   a poll of Americans.   
      
   The most striking statistic in this survey is an observable decline in   
   X/Twitter use by Americans between 2023 and 2024, from 27% to 19% of the   
   population, a decline of 30%.   
      
   The likely culprit for this decline was the decision to turn X/Twitter into   
   a walled garden. By no longer allowing users to freely search and view   
   tweets without the need for a registered account, this subtle change places   
   a hard limit on the impact X/Twitter can have on the general population.   
      
   Looking at the Infinite Dial survey further, it can be seen that X/Twitter   
   is a relatively “niche” social media platform, with only 5% of the general   
   population reporting that they use it as their primary social media app.   
      
   In contrast, TikTok boasts a significantly broader user base, with 13% of   
   the population naming it their primary social media platform. Moreover,   
   among 12-34-year-olds, this figure rises to 23%, making TikTok the second   
   largest social media platform within this demographic.   
      
   Looking at the data, it is clear why ADL CEO Jonathan Greenblatt was   
   alarmed late last year over the proliferation of anti-Zionist material on   
   TikTok but relatively mute on its proliferation on X/Twitter.   
      
   Data suggests that TikTok is a far wider-reaching platform, especially   
   among young people. Thus, the likelihood of a depoliticized ‘normie’   
   encountering anti-Zionist material is far greater on TikTok than on   
   X/Twitter.   
      
   X/Twitter, in comparison, has effectively become a ghetto for American   
   political discourse, where people who are already politicized are siloed   
   into their own echo chamber depending on their pre-existing political   
   interests.   
      
   That being said, X/Twitter’s value as a propaganda outlet appears to be   
   worth exploiting, as the platform’s somewhat politicized user base is   
   rapidly becoming further radicalized. This is especially true on the issues   
   of addressing the Great Replacement, Israel, and Jewish power.   
      
   This can no better be demonstrated than with the emergence of large   
   accounts such as Irish Nationalist Keith Woods and Jake Shields, who both   
   were able to maintain their presence on X/Twitter under the previous   
   censorship regime. The two accounts have been able to push increasingly   
   radical ideas even further now that censorship as a whole on X/Twitter has   
   been relaxed.   
      
   While America’s Jewish elite are furiously banning TikTok to prevent the   
   further politicization of the general population, they are essentially   
   writing off the already politicized portion of the population from being   
   further radicalized—on the right and the left—by not forcing Musk to censor   
   X/Twitter.   
      
   It is a huge miscalculation for the Jewish community to allow X/Twitter to   
   radicalize politicized people further. However, their attention appears to   
   be diverted by other more pressing concerns, amidst the collapse of the   
   American empire.   
      
   Should their priorities shift or the radicalization on X/Twitter begin to   
   cause destabilizing issues, they very well could turn their attention back   
   to Elon Musk’s X and crack down on institutional dissent.   
      
   In a meeting leaked earlier this year, ADL CEO Jonathan Greenblatt again   
   reiterated his demand to revoke Section 230 of the Communications Decency   
   Act, which shields online platforms from legal liability for user-generated   
   content.   
      
   Something that both Democrats and Republicans have promised to do in recent   
   years. It is not unlikely that Section 230 will be stripped at some point,   
   and Jewish organizations such as the ADL will use lawfare to force   
   censorship on X/Twitter.
