Noteworthy social networks, namely Instagram and TikTok, have taken strict action against a resurfaced 2002 letter authored by Osama bin Laden rationalizing the infamous attacks on the World Trade Center and the Pentagon on September 11, 2001. The document regained attention and spread intensely on Wednesday evening, prompting these platforms to act decisively.

To suppress this unwarranted wave, Instagram concealed the tag #LetterToAmerica, and TikTok, drawing on its standing regulations against endorsing any form of terrorism, removed the same hashtag on Thursday. These stringent steps highlight the platforms’ efforts to mitigate the circulation of content that fuels or validates terroristic ideologies.

According to information obtained from a representative of TikTok, the propagation of this letter outrightly defies the platform's stringent terrorism-related regulations. The spokesperson stated, 'Our strategies are designed to counteract any form of terrorism promotion, and content endorsing this letter categorically violates this policy.'

In addition, the representative noted, 'We are acting expeditiously and robustly to eliminate this content and are conducting an in-depth investigation into its origin on our platform. Notwithstanding rumors, the number of this content on TikTok is unnecessarily inflated, and its trending status is misguided.'
