TikTok is removing videos on its platform that promote Osama bin Laden’s letter justifying the September 11 attacks against the US, saying that the user-generated content “clearly violates” its rules on “supporting any form of terrorism.”

“We are proactively and aggressively removing this content and investigating how it got onto our platform,” TikTok said in a post on X.
