Remember back in the summer, pre-election where everyone was terrified that Trump was going to pull a Burgermeister Meisterburger and take away everyone’s tiktok?
Remember how people said that it was a threat to national security because the Chinese company bytedance was collecting American user data and how that was such a crime nd how the Trump administration wanted Bytedance to sell off a minority stake in itself to an American company, either Oracle or Walmart and have the security portion of the site be under their watchful eye?
So what happens to Tiktok now?
It seems the Trump administration has forgotten all about that deal. They specified that. Bytedance needed to sell off its American assets within 30 days after Nov. 12th but never exactly specified what would happen if they didn’t.
After making all that fuss about the app, they have literally not given the company any further instructions on how to proceed with that deal. The thing is Tiktok is perfectly willing to comply, even interested in both the walmart and the oracle deals but they simply don’t know how to proceed.
Gee, its almost as if the administration now has bigger fish to fry and has stopped worrying about the woke teenagers on an internet app!
As for the Biden administration they say that it’s too soon to say what his opinion is on the app. However, I am willing to bet that President-Elect Biden has more than enough on his plate to worry about without giving one second thought to an app that is home to millions of teenagers.
He has a pandemic to worry about and an economy to rebuild, and actual cyber attacks to handle from Russia. He is not worried about the dancing app that so many teenagers and other content creators are so fond of.
I am willing to bt that his opinion on the app will come out to be pretty neutral, even though he did have his staff delete the app from all personal and work devices earlier, I’m still willing to bet that the ban on tiktok will be a laughable thing of the past. Besides that, tiktok creators seem to love the new president elect so there’s that. Stay tuned!!!
