TikTok execs believed Biden joining the app meant a ban was no longer an imminent threat: WSJ
Business Insider
·
1y
Executives at TikTok felt reassured that calls for a ban on the app had quieted due to President Joe Biden's decision to join the platform in February and post videos, according to The Wall Street Journal. However, a bipartisan bill was introduced in the House shortly after a meeting between TikTok executives and lawmakers, which would require the Chinese company ByteDance to sell TikTok or face a ban in the US. The bill was shaped by Biden administration officials, and Biden himself has indicated he would sign the ban if it reaches his desk. TikTok and free-speech groups argue that the ban would violate the First Amendment.
