00:00 Short video app TikTok says it will prohibit content promoting Osama bin Laden's 2002 letter detailing his justifications for attacks against Americans.
00:09 Discussions of the letter have spread on the platform this week in the context of debate over the Israel-Hamas war.
00:15 The letter was written after al-Qaeda's attack on the World Trade Center and the Pentagon that killed nearly 3,000 people.
00:22 TikTok says content promoting the letter clearly violates its rules on supporting any form of terrorism.
00:27 A search for "letter to America" on TikTok yields no results, with a notice saying the phrase may be associated with "content that violates our guidelines."
