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. Furthermore, TikTok's use of pop-up messages during the U.S. political process has raised concerns about its potential threat to American democracy. 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.
