Does anyone feel like this is becoming a bit performative?
the Biden admin says they won’t enforce a ban, TikTok says it isn’t enough and they’ll go down anyways, they make sure everyone knows Trump is the one that will bring it back if it does come back along with everything in between.
Feels more like TikTok trying to create a political narrative more than anything else.
Edit because I want to elaborate and yap more:
Some people are saying that biden’s word is not enough. Understandable, but I think the posturing in support of Trump is the more notable part of what I said and why I made the post. I feel like we’re also ignoring that the effort to ban it was, for the most part, bipartisan and Trump himself supported it until recently. I will acknowledge the flaw in that though which is most voters won’t know/care about that information
Thx for the upvotes, it fills the dopamine shaped hole in my heart from not being able to watch family guy clips with mobile games at the bottom.
TikTok was never banned anyways--- this law only bans getting TikTok if it doesn't sell.
They chose to shut down. A bit like how PornHub chose to shut down in states that require ID checking, since they could set up a system to do that, but don't want to deal with everyone's ID data.
The bill was bipartisan, Trump probably still supports it (remember, what he says is hardly an indication of reality), and the app has been banned for years on government devices, both for feds and most if not all states.
