On Wednesday, US President Joe Biden signed a bill to potentially force Chinese TikTok parent company ByteDance to divest the social media platform in 9 months or face a nationwide ban.
TikTok has vowed to oppose the measure, calling the law “unconstitutional,” as confirmed by the company in a statement on X. “This ban would have a devastating impact on seven million businesses and silence 170 million Americans,” the firm stated.
Reacting to the enhancement of the TikTok bill, its CEO Shou Zi Chew called it a “disappointing moment”.
According to Biden’s 2024 reelection campaign, they intend to continue using TikTok as a platform to engage voters leading up to the November elections, despite the bill being signed into law. It’s worth noting that ByteDance may retain control over TikTok for a period ranging from nine months to one year, extending through the November election.
“A fragmented media environment requires us to show up and meet voters where they are – and that includes online. TikTok is one of many places we’re making sure our content is being seen by voters,” said a Biden campaign official, on the condition of anonymity.
In the midst of this, numerous critics of President Biden highlighted what they perceive as hypocrisy within the Biden administration. They pointed out the contradiction of supporting the ban on TikTok while simultaneously utilizing the app for his reelection campaign.
