Israeli-Aligned Billionaires Seize TikTok in Battle for U.S. Narrative Control The White House has announced that the forced sale of TikTok will be finalized this week. The new ownership led by Larry Ellison - the largest individual donor to the IDF - will take control of U.S. user data and the algorithm which the White House says will be "retrained". Ellison, who made his fortune developing Oracle - a database system he originally built for the CIA - already controls CBS, Paramount, MTV, Comedy Central, Showtime, Nickelodeon (which makes kids shows) as well as Channel 10 in Australia and Channel 5 in the UK. Ellison is also expected to finalize control over Warner Bros. Discovery (including CNN, HBO and the Discovery channel) before the end of 2025. Even before the forced sale is finalised, censorship of TikTok content critical of Israel, including of the deal itself, has reached extreme levels as the platform moves to align with its prospective new owners. Fox – a Murdoch asset - is also seeking to join the Ellison consortium, a move that could enable cross-promotion between Fox and TikTok, further tightening the Israeli-aligned information bubble. Disapproval of what Israel is doing in Gaza has risen to 60% of the US population, nearly double the approval rate of 32%. The U.S. still has over three years of Trump left. Israeli-aligned Jewish billionaires control OpenAI, Google, Meta/Facebook/Instagram/WhatsApp, Palantir, CBS, HBO, and most of Conde Nast (Reddit, Vogue, The New Yorker, Wired, GQ, Vanity Fair) as well as numerous Hollywood studios, regional papers and radio stations. Europe, meanwhile, remains largely absent, offering little real competition in the information space. Its one real success story? Telegram, which it managed to comprehensively alienate after France arrested its founder, supposedly for not handing over enough user data. Will the EU and other U.S. allies align with the “Israelified” TikTok algorithm, or attempt to create a politicised alternative of their own? Decentralised alternatives like Keet and Nostr offer strong resistance to censorship but are still young. Larger platforms like Telegram and Rednote carry serious risks of censorship, including eventual sell-off to other interests. For users the sweet spot may be to use both. One for political reliability, the others for a (politically temporary) audience.

$7000 per post: Israel paying undisclosed US influencers amid Gaza backlash The Israeli government is paying US content producers up to $7000 per post as part of a major increase in budget for global influence campaigns. “We have to fight with the weapons that apply to the battlefields in which we engage, and the most important ones are on social media,” Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu told a group of US-based Jewish influencers in New York this week. A September 2025 filing by Bridges partners LLC on behalf of 'Government of Israel through Havas Media Group' under the US Foreign Agents Registration Act (FARA) details “Initial payments for production and influencers. Concept development with each influencer. Begin matching with Israeli content partners and writing initial post,” among other line items. More than half the $900,000 total appears to be allocated to the recruitment and training of a cohort of more than a dozen US-based online influencers expected to post pro-Israel content. The campaign is part of a larger influence push by Israeli authorities amid a collapse of public support in the US and elsewhere as the Gaza genocide draws into its third year. In late 2024, Israeli Foreign Minister Gideon Sa’ar negotiated a 20-fold increase in the foreign influence budget, securing USD$150 million. Among other initiatives, Israel is now paying $1.5 million a month to President Donald Trump's former digital campaign strategist Brad Parscale to produce “strategic communications,” using AI tools to generate thousands of variants on pro-Israel messaging. Parscale is is now registered as a foreign agent. “We have to fight back. How do we fight back? Our influencers,” Netanyahu told the gathering in New York in September.
