    Biden signed the ban in April 2024, why’d he do that?

      Because it was tied to a bill funding Ukraine, which was a wee bit more important than an app at the time…

        Glad that worked out for him. Then why are people complaining?

          Because I think people see this as the Democrats kind of self-owning once again. The Tiktok ban was something Trump started, and now he’s trying to make it seem like he’s the one that is saving it.

          Biden stated last week that he wasn’t going to enforce the ban, and let the next president decide what to do, but people think he should have said that much earlier so that he could have taken credit for keeping the app up, and not given “the win” to Trump.

          To clarify, I don’t agree at all with this viewpoint, it’s really stupid. Biden most likely couldn’t say anything about it until the Supreme Court decision was made.
