If President Trump reverses the TikTok ban passed by Congress and signed by Biden, he's siding with corporate influence and risking our national security.

The article from MSN discusses the potential implications of former President Donald Trump reversing his previous stance on banning TikTok, a decision influenced by his financial backers. It highlights how Trump's initial support for banning TikTok was based on national security concerns, given the app's Chinese ownership by ByteDance and the potential for data harvesting by the Chinese government. However, recent reports suggest Trump might oppose a ban due to financial ties with Jeff Yass, a significant investor in ByteDance, who has donated to Trump's campaign. This shift could prioritize donor interests over national security, potentially allowing TikTok to continue operating in the U.S. without addressing the security risks. The article argues that this change in policy could undermine U.S. efforts to protect against foreign data exploitation and influence, placing financial gain above the country's security needs.
