TikTok has announced that it will prohibit content promoting Osama bin Laden’s 2002 letter, in which he detailed justifications for attacks against Americans, Reuters reports.
The letter, written after the 9/11 attacks, criticized US support for Israel, accused Americans of financing the “oppression” of Palestinians, and contained antisemitic comments.
TikTok stated that content promoting the letter violates its rules on supporting any form of terrorism. A search for “Letter to America” on TikTok no longer yields results, with a notice stating that the phrase may be associated with content violating guidelines.
Some US lawmakers had criticized TikTok for allegedly promoting pro-terrorist propaganda.
