    How would you prevent that? The US can just ban Tiktok anytime and gain that prop stranglehold.

      But that would be a very unpopular move that might even be counter-productive while selling them Tiktok would just be handing them everything they want on a silver platter.

        The ban already happened. There was nothing massively unpopular about it. And whoever lets the exemption lapse doesn’t have to take the heat for it, since they can just blame it on Biden.

          It was massively unpopular among the relevant demographic, the Tiktok user. Those are the ones you would want to reach obviously.
