Its not helping Biden not being able to censor information on his part genocide. None of them gave a fuck about tiktok until they told em to take down pro Palestinian content and got told "lulnope"
Tiktok has been a subject of national security concerns since at least 2020.
With absolutely zero tangible evidence, which is why it was a complete non-starter for four years until Biden lost control of the narrative.
Well, no. The courts struck down Trump's Tiktok ban because he used an executive order that overstepped his authority.
Because executive order was the only way to get it done - other methods would have required evidence that doesn't exist. You're only backing my argument lmao.
That's the opposite of what the court said.
