On one hand, yeah, on the other hand Biden literally signed the law banning it. If Democrats didn’t want Tik Tok being banned to be associated with them and to give Republicans an easy, obvious win by unbanning a wildly popular app, then they could have just… not done that. This was just completely an unforced error on the part of the Democrats.
As long as it’s completely legal for American companies to sell the data that’s allegedly so sensitive to anyone they please, the law does nothing except allow the president to target apps selectively. If it’s the propagandizing via the algorithm that’s such a huge concern, that’s still completely legal too.
Democrats shutting down TikTok over a do nothing bill is probably the stupidest shit they could have done with Biden’s last year in office.
