“Who is the Pro-Israel Clique behind TikTok’s US Takeover? – Analysis”

“TikTok’s US sale places the platform under the control of investors with deep pro-Israel political ties, raising concerns over influence, speech, and content moderation”

Larry #Ellison, of #Oracle fame and loud pro Israel proponent, just bought #TikTok. Well, him and some other billionaire buddies.

As of December 19, 2025, TikTok announced it had signed a deal to spin off 80% of its U.S. assets to a group of American and global investors, with Oracle being one of the key players. Oracle, along with private equity firm #SilverLake and #MGX (an AI-focused investment firm backed by the government of Abu Dhabi), will each hold a 15% stake in the new joint venture, collectively owning 45% of the U.S. entity.

TikTok recently hired Israeli Defense Forces instructor Erica Mindel as content supervisor. She’s now in charge of censoring anything the IDF thinks is antisemitic, ya know like being Palestinian, or Lebanese or Syrian, or Egyptian or Persian, or whomever the IDF wants to bomb today.

China owning TikTok was a security risk, but the IDF controlling a propaganda channel? No problem!

Thankfully, we have the fediverse.
