Donald Trump For Tiktok Amidst Biden Ban: Threatens To Throw Meta CEO Mark Zuckerberg In Jail?

For some time, TikTok and ByteDance have been on the frontlines regarding national security concerns. ‘Donald Trump for TikTok amidst Biden ban’ has been circulating the Internet.

President Joe Biden signed a bill in April that could ban the video-sharing platform in the US.

Therefore, let’s determine if the 2024 Presidential candidate Trump supports TikTok. We will also divulge facts regarding Vice President Kamala Harris‘s thoughts.

Trump Supports TikTok?

Donald Trump, the 45th President of the United States, has supported the video-sharing platform TikTok despite the bill signed by the current President, which could lead to a nationwide ban on TikTok.

The Chinese company ByteDance, the owner of TikTok, was given about six months to sell off the app’s US assets or risk being banned, according to a measure overwhelmingly approved by the US House of Representatives in March. 352-65 voted in favor of the bill.

At the time, Trump also criticized TikTok as a national security threat but changed his mind after joining the platform in June for his presidential campaign. He has a massive following, with over 9 million followers.

Meta blocked Trump’s Instagram and Facebook page in January 2021 after the storming of Capitol Hill to challenge Biden’s election win.

Trump previously stated during his administration in 2020 that he considered outlawing the app in the US due to concerns about data privacy.

Similarly, in an interview with Bloomberg BusinessWeek, Trump defended TikTok, arguing that it’s necessary for competition and that users would only have access to Facebook and Instagram without TikTok.

Trump acknowledged that he was still furious over his 2021 Facebook and Instagram ban.

Maybe that’s why the former US President threatened to jail Mark Zuckerberg if he won the 2024 elections.
