Yes because nobody is talking about the Palestine/Israel situation on any other social media platforms. /s
The more likely reason is that it's a social media company that the government currently has zero control over. Being owned by a (Taiwanese?) company the US can't ask them to track data and the CIA/FBI can't fill it with propaganda or whatever else they want.
But are they?
I know they are on Fediverse sites, but is it really being discussed on Twitter and Facebook?
The /s at the end means he was being sarcastic.
But truthfully, there are some places (such as isolated bubbles on Facebook, I would expect) where people honestly believe that opposition to Israel is based on antisemitism, being unaware of the genocide.
Right, which leads me to believe that they are implying that people are talking about the Palestine / Israel situation on other platforms.
I don't go on FB often, but when I do I never see anything on there about Israel. I never go on Twitter, but from what I've heard any mention of genocide is met with accusations of antisemitism and the conversation is shut down.
