The Biden administration declined, forfeiting potential influence over one of the world’s most popular apps in favor of banning it

Honestly, good. I’d much rather our federal govt not have the keys to tiktok. Things are bad enough as is.

Would this be the Biden administration alone, or all administrations to come? What would that mean for political bias?

Seems like a missed opportunity but then again, would policy makers have made sounds judgements while in control? Not sure about that either…

i'd prefer they just leave it alone altogether but if the only choice is between banning it and putting it in the genocidal hands of the executive branch i think i'd rather see it banned
