President Trump previously denounced TikTok as a national security threat. Now he calls it a unique medium for freedom of expression, showing a dramatic shift in his stance.
The law passed in April requires ByteDance to divest TikTok to a non-Chinese company, citing national security risks and First Amendment concerns raised by the app's data practices.
TikTok argues that the law's requirement for divestment violates the First Amendment, while the Biden administration maintains that the app's Chinese ownership poses significant security threats.
Despite once labeling TikTok a danger, Trump's new embrace of the platform reveals a complex relationship as he aims to leverage its influence while negotiating for its future.
