May 12, 2024, 04:44 PM
President Biden recently signed a bill that could lead to a ban on TikTok unless its U.S. operations are sold. This legislation has sparked a lawsuit from TikTok, challenging the divest-or-ban bill as its toughest challenge yet. The bill's passage followed significant lobbying efforts by tech giants such as Google and Meta.

Amidst this political and legal turmoil, TikTok has become a platform with a noticeable increase in pro-Trump content, showing a 2 to 1 ratio of pro-Trump to pro-Biden content, according to TikTok officials.
