The short-form video application TikTok announced on Thursday, November 16, that it will not allow any content that supports Osama bin Laden’s 2002 letter, which details the former al Qaeda leader’s motives for attacks against Americans. This week, discussions on the 20-year-old letter have increased on the site amid the ongoing debate over the Israel-Hamas conflict, with some Western users commending its contents. Written in the wake of al Qaeda’s almost 3,000-person attack on American soil, the letter featured antisemitic remarks, denounced American backing for Israel, and charged Americans with funding the “oppression” of Palestinians.
