Headline: UNCAPTIONED: Congress Sends Biden a Bill That Could Ban TikTok
Caption: Congress Sends Biden a Bill That Could Ban TikTok. Included within Congress' $95 billion national security package is a provision that could lead to TikTok being banned in America. However, the ban would take place after the 2024 election, NBC News reports. This means that TikTok could still be used by candidates seeking the nation's highest office who want to reach younger voters. The new bill gives TikTok parent company ByteDance nine months to sell the platform or be banned in the U.S. A one-time, 90-day extension can be granted by the president. Without an extension, the earliest a ban could be implemented is January 2025. Some Democrats say that ByteDance would rather sell TikTok than be banned in America. "TikTok ain’t going away. There is no more capitalistic entity than an organization controlled by the Chinese Communist Party. They’re going to sell it.", "Young people will go on their TikTok tomorrow and they’ll still have it. And then the day after that, they’ll still have it. And the day after that, they’ll still have it. If you like it, you’re going to keep it.", Sen. Tim Kaine, D-Va., a member of the Armed Services Committee, via NBC News. Donald Trump issued a statement seeking to exploit the development for his own political gain. "Just so everyone knows, especially the young people, Crooked Joe Biden is responsible for banning TikTok. He is the one pushing it to close … Young people, and lots of others, must remember this on November 5th, ELECTION DAY, when they vote!", Donald Trump, via Truth Social.
