Comparison of Social Media Platforms in Light of Possible TikTok Ban by the United States Government

Some people say that the real reason for the possible ban of TikTok by the United States government is that TikTok includes a lot of Pro-Palestinian and Anti-Israeli content. That may be true, but my impression is closer to this:

Feature	Facebook/Instagram	TikTok	X/Twitter	Mastodon/Fediverse
Shows you short videos that may be entertaining, that you didn’t search for, and that you can scroll up and down	Yes	Yes	No	No
Has connections with the government of the United States	Yes	Probably yes	Probably yes	Probably no
Has connections with the government of the People’s Republic of China	Not sure	Yes	Not sure	Probably no

Has Anti-Israeli content	Yes	Yes	Yes	Yes

Corrections welcome.
