TikTok isn’t getting banned. No way Dems will allow it.

If there is anything that would lose the election for Biden it is this. 18-24 year olds would not vote for him if he signs this and may turnout to vote third party. Plus there are people who make their living off Tik Tok so you'd essentially be taking away income from people.

Aren’t those the same votes he lost from Palestine?

It could be a much broader group. Plenty of younger Tik Tok users could be persuaded to support Biden based on women's rights, LGBTQ rights, etc. But banning Tik Tok would put those people off. Young people don't like having their voice taken away.

What if Bytedance divests from TikTok?

I'm afraid this is true. It would be a catastrophe for Biden's support among that demographic.

I don’t think it’ll matter until TikTok is actually no longer accessible in the U.S..

That's what the proposed ban is trying to trigger so it wouldn't be banned if that happened.

Will signing the bill hurt Biden with the youth, or will it only hurt if the app is actually banned by ED.

Biden won’t win reelection at all if he signs this

I don't know about that but I think it's going to hurt him.

I don’t think signing it will hurt him unless the app is actually banned in the US by the election.

As predicted ByteDance is not going to sell. The US government is going to have to rip TikTok out of the hands of millions of Americans.

What does that mean?

You will no longer be able to freely access TikTok in the US within a years time. Similar to how the CCP shuts down websites the same will happen to Americans as we lose our freedom. If you use VPN its still possible to access the content, but once the uniparty figures that out its likely they will start restricting access to that as well which was in the original Restrict Act from 2023.


Maybe Trump will reverse the ban on the app.
