Former President Trump Criticises Congressional Bill Targeting TikTok

Published: 12 March 2024 at 00:15

Former President Donald Trump has criticized a congressional bill that would force TikTok\'s parent company ByteDance to sell the app or face a ban in the US. Trump believes the proposal would unfairly benefit Facebook owner Meta. He expressed concerns about TikTok\'s security and its impact on American youth. The bill, supported by President Joe Biden, aims to address national security threats posed by TikTok and Chinese influence over social media platforms in the US.
