Former President Donald Trump has expressed a shift in his stance on TikTok, indicating that he now sees value in the platform and does not consider it a major concern. Trump mentioned that he has received calls from many wealthy individuals regarding TikTok, suggesting its significant market value. He also noted that his personal use of TikTok influenced his change of perspective, as he believes it appeals primarily to young people and has helped him win votes. Trump downplayed concerns about data privacy, stating that if China were to obtain information about young users, he believes the U.S. faces more pressing issues.
