TikTok is under scrutiny for allegedly promoting anti-Israel content, with pro-Palestinian hashtags gaining more views than pro-Israeli ones. This trend is primarily driven by users in the Middle East and Southeast Asia. However, TikTok's marketing side is accused of favoring pro-Israel content, contradicting its Community Principles. The hashtags #Israel and #Palestine are at the center of this controversy.
