Osama bin Laden's 'Letter to America' Goes Viral on TikTok

The social media platform is taking steps to contain the spread of the letter, which has been viewed over 14 million times, amid backlash from U.S. and Israeli leaders.

Osama bin Laden's 2002 'Letter to America' has gone viral on TikTok, with videos featuring the letter being watched at least 14 million times.
The letter, which was bin Laden's attempt to justify the 9/11 attacks, accuses the U.S. of looting Arab nations and supporting Israel.
Most of the people praising bin Laden on TikTok appear to be in their 20s, and seem to be largely ignorant of the actual history of al Qaeda.
TikTok has stated that it is 'aggressively' moving to contain the spread of the viral letter, removing posts that amplify bin Laden's anti-American message.
The viral spread of the letter has sparked outrage and concern among U.S. and Israeli leaders, with some calling for a ban on TikTok.
