After the U.S. Congress passed the TikTok divestiture bill, whether this social software can continue to exist in the United States has become a question. US officials have repeatedly emphasized that they do not want to ban TikTok, but just want to seize it. Biden’s national security adviser Sullivan said that it is natural for the United States to own TikTok. We don’t know how he came up with this logical thing.
But now, things have taken a turn for the better, because Trump’s campaign team is considering using this software to campaign in order to win the support of more young voters. According to people familiar with the matter, Trump's advisory team has two completely different views. Supporters believe that Trump likes to tell wisecracks, and there are many wonderful moments at campaign rallies, such as Trump dancing at the rally. Video is very suitable as the first work of a new account.
Opponents believe that Trump also tried to ban TikTok during his term, and now actively uses it, which will give people a sense of capriciousness. Another thing is that most of Trump’s supporters are maga, and they also agree to ban this software. If you lose your base in order to win over young voters, won’t it be worth the loss?
We still don’t know how Trump will choose, but what is certain is that Trump is 80% unable to compete with Biden in traditional media, advertising and other fields. His victory over Hillary in 2016 was also due to Accurate bets on social media all determine that if Trump wants to win, he must strengthen his use of social media, just like when he was president, he relied on Twitter to issue policies.
Before Biden signed the divestment bill, Trump said that what Biden did was to make his Facebook friends richer and have greater dominance in the social media market, and called on young people to rise up against it. Biden, now that he has taken this step, it is indeed a good idea to directly enter TikTok.
But does this mean that TikTok can rely on Trump to escape the fate of being banned by the US government? All I can say is, it’s difficult. First of all, suppressing TikTok will indeed make many young people unhappy. But in the United States, except before and after the election, politicians don’t care what the people think.
Secondly, the biggest harm that tiktok has done to the United States is that it truly practices freedom of speech. From the drug train in Ohio last year to the current Palestinian-Israeli conflict and student protests, tiktok has presented the most authentic information in front of everyone. This is obviously absolutely unacceptable to the American political elite, especially the Jewish interest groups.
But now, it happens to be an election year. The 170 million users on this social platform have really made both sides jealous. Before, Biden was canvassing votes on it despite a congressional ban, and now Trump is preparing to become a "singing and dancing blogger." This is the so-called "democratic election system" in the United States. the truth. For this reason, the U.S. Congress deliberately extended the implementation period of the divestment bill to 270 days, which is exactly one day before the end of Biden's term.
At that time, whether it is Biden's successful re-election or Trump's "return of the king", the value of tiktok will be taken out and re-examined. As for whether it can continue to live in the United States, we will find out at that time.
