There's probably a different word for it, but linkhole like rabbithole.
You went to this one site, and it mentioned some other site, and they kept your interest and kept linking on to others and you've surfaced just long enough to share here.

Palestine news on tiktok. I was under the impression tiktok was a garbage app like Facebook. It's not.
I don't use TikTok because I don't like the heavily algorithmic feed nor do I vibe with videos. However, the ongoing Palestinian genocide has caused me to appreciate TikTok in a way that I never expected because of how it has facilitated the spread of Palestinian stories. I remember seeing one clip of a "nurse" supposedly in Al-Shifa hospital get thoroughly debunked on Tiktok itself [(which was covered widely by mainstream media afterwards)] (https://www.aljazeera.com/opinions/2023/11/17/fact-or-fiction-israel-needs-fake-nurses-to-justify-killing-gaza-babies). I remember being struck by how the debunking included stuff like "her stethoscope and scrubs aren't even the right colour", and how this was easily verified because of the sheer mass of footage we had from within Al Shifa hospital. I've read that Israel's hasbara strategy can't keep up with TikTok and other modern social media, and Israel hates these platforms because of that. I'm still not a fan of TikTok personally, but I've certainly had to re-evaluate my stance on it
See? Even here my pro Palestinian posts still get downvoted by the bots. They can't keep up with tiktok, so you see actual, unfiltered opinions.
