Award-winning Palestinian journalist Bisan Owda has said she has been permanently banned from TikTok, days after the social media platform was acquired by new investors in the United States.

Owda, an Emmy Award-winning journalist and contributor to Al Jazeera’s AJ+ from Gaza, shared a video on her Instagram and X accounts on Wednesday, telling her followers that her TikTok account had been banned.

Netanyahu met with pro-Israel influencers in New York in September last year, telling them that he hoped the “purchase” of TikTok goes through.

“We have to fight with the weapons that apply to the battlefield in which we engage, and the most important ones are social media,” Netanyahu, who is a war crimes suspect, said at the time.

“The most important purchase that is going on right now is … TikTok,” Netanyahu added. “TikTok, number one, number one, and I hope it goes through, because it can be consequential.”

It used to be possible right ? doesnt have to be a strictly youtube focused site either, being able to grab url from other sites are always a plus, only suggest apps that are on fdroid (main repo) .

Also for those who dk and might find useful you can use webtor to get a network stream url from magnet links, tho i wont suggest it as the lag and experience is abysmal and misses important functions like seeding .

[Martin Luther King Jr. is raising a finger, speaking]\
Let us not wallow in the valley of despair, I say to you today, my friends.\
And so even though we face the difficulties of today and tomorrow, I still have a dream. It is a dream deeply rooted in the American dream.\
I have a dream that one day oppression will be solved by a strongly worded op-ed in the Washington Post and a bipartisan task force.\
\
[MLK Jr. is now raising his hand]\
I have a dream that one day this nation will politely vote segregation away, just like we did during the American Civil Vote and The Second World Vote.\
I have a dream that my four little children will not be judged by the color of their skin, but by how politely they wait for incremental reform.\
\
[MLK Jr. is now raising his fist]\
I have a dream that the sons of former slave owners and the sons of former slaves will sit together at the table of a diversity panel moderated by a consultant.\
This is our hope, and this is the faith that I go back to the South with.
