Federal appeals court upholds TikTok ban
In a landmark ruling, the Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals has upheld the Trump administration’s ban on TikTok, dealing a major blow to the popular social media platform. The court held that the Executive Order, which labeled the app a “threat to national security,” was a permissible use of presidential authority.
While the decision is a setback for TikTok, it does not necessarily mean the end for the app in the United States. TikTok’s parent company, ByteDance, is reportedly in talks with potential buyers who could potentially keep the app operating.
The battle over TikTok is likely to continue, with the possibility of further legal challenges and political maneuvering. However, the appeals court’s ruling has significantly strengthened the Trump administration’s position and made it more difficult for TikTok to operate in the United States.
These politicians supported a TikTok ban, but still used the app to win their elections
In a surprising twist of irony, politicians who ardently advocated for a TikTok ban have been caught using the very app they sought to prohibit. Amid concerns over data security and foreign influence, these leaders leveraged TikTok’s massive reach to bolster their election campaigns.
Their content ranged from lighthearted videos to carefully crafted political messages, cleverly exploiting the platform’s algorithm to connect with a broad audience. While they publicly decried TikTok, their behind-the-scenes use of it for personal gain has raised eyebrows, casting doubt on their motives and highlighting a disconnect between their words and actions.
