TikTok Ban

[Robot_Man]

The bill to ban TikTok passed both houses of Congress overwhelmingly and was signed into law by Biden. And now they're just not going to do it?



This guy used to call TikTok "an arm of the communists." Now he says they're working to "keep TikTok going." What's the deal?

Biden is washing his hands of the issue because it is very unpopular.
Trump has pledged to save it, so he is kicking the issue over to Trump.

The ban is ridiculous though. I don't think they're afraid of security or privacy because there are many other Chinese apps they are not going after. This seems to be more about having more power over the entities where information is being shared.

Republicans figured out where people are and found ways to message them. They did a FAR better job than democrats on that front.
Tiktok was part of that for sure.
