Will social media platforms, like TikTok allow Israeli "ambassadors to be viral countering the dominant narratives, or will the platforms censor them?

I can speak from within the Canadian Jewish community about the success of the shinshinim who spend a year with us representing Israel to Diaspora Jews, through the auspices of our local Federation. If that success can be transferred to the non-Jewish community, I’m all for it. We have housed and welcomed into our family two dynamic young women for 6 months each who had all the strengths you mention. We also had to lock them down for a few days after the Iranian war ramped up. Security IS a concern. You need a reliable partner organization on foreign soil to oversee the process, and also churches, schools, service organizations, scouting groups, etc., who will integrate them into their programming. Fingers crossed.
