That is correct. This only started when Trump was last in office, and he fully supported it. I wish the rest of this country wasn’t fooled so easily by crap like this…
The ban that Trump tried fell apart, the current pending ban didnt even start being discussed until March 2024, before then any threat of ban was gone. Sure he tried but none of the current legislation is due to Trump. This one came years after he left office.
Thanks for the update! So in reality, this boils down to not enough bribes, and US competitors (fb, Twitter, etc) most likely encouraging officials more than it has to do with national security.
Yeah as far as I know China still buys data from the US and I don’t think anyone is trying to stop that, I’m not sure how much differnt the data they collect themselves would be. Banning it from government devices was definetly warranted, but I still dont know how the US would enforce the civilian ban if Tiktok didn’t voluntarily shut down the service as they plan to on the 19th. Also in the court case the US shared sercret evidence neither the public nor tiktoks attorney’s were allowed to see. I’m not keen on trusting evidence they intentionally hide when they still allow our data to end up in China anyway.
