Is Trump back from a 'Tuk' ban?
A decision issued by a Federal Appeal Court confirmed on Friday that the possibility of prohibiting “Tik Talk” in the United States has become more than the possibility of its continuation. It should represent a warning to millions of users of this application, especially those who have arranged their professional conditions on it. So far, they maintain their calm and work in a state of collective denial to come a day when they cannot report to the application. The day was determined on January 19, which is the day before the appointment of President -Skine Donald Trump for a second term. According to the Pew Research Center, the support of the “Tik Talk” program has decreased significantly since the first time was offered in 2023. Perhaps it is especially popular with the voter mass of “Z” generation, which is attributed to Trump’s help to return to the White House. This generation can cause disappointment with one of its first important decisions. Tek Talk plans to appeal before the Supreme Court and said in a statement on Friday that she is confident that the judges “would” follow their fixed historical record to protect the right of Americans to freedom from expression “. Some legal observers differ from this, and they believe that the Supreme Court that is prone to conservative tendency – if the case of land accepts – will agree to the unanimous ruling of the Court of Appeal, which says that the concerns of national security, and if hypothetically, exceed the importance of freedom of expression. The court concluded that the option to withdraw China’s investments from the company gives the “Tek Tok” the opportunity to continue. (Tick -tuk protests that exit is impossible. The court says that the blame is on this on China, which prevents the export of the famous “Tik Talk” algorithm). However, Trump’s position on Tok Tok, tap Talk can freeze the situation temporarily. You are expected to seek a judicial order from the Supreme Court to postpone the deadline in January, which will push the case to the Trump administration. Professor James Gremilman of the University of Cornell Law Faculty of legal right that there may be another scenario that could delay the procedures is that Congress extends the deadline. Congress no. 119 is scheduled to take the right on January 3 – before the president and before the ban “Tik Talk” came into effect. “It is very likely that Trump will obtain the obligations of Republicans, who will control the two councils by giving him an extension for two months so that he can make the decision when he takes over the position,” says Grimmalman. What then? The winning paper is Trump himself, whose view of “Tek Tok” was not consistent. And his current position on the ban is unclear. What I do know is that it is foolish to take a position based on his last words. Initially, his opposition to ‘Tik Talk’ was serious. In August 2020, an executive order was imposed on “Tik Talk” to leave Chinese investments within 45 days, with the appearance of “Microsoft” and “Oracle” as potential buyers. His opposition to the application is expected to result in partly from his discovery that its users mocked it and attributed the credit to themselves to hinder his election events. In the end, a preliminary judicial order stopped any forced changes. By 2024, while the US Congress again discussed a ban on “Tik Talk”, he suddenly changed position. He told CNBC TV: “There are a lot of good aspects and bad people in Tech Talk, but what I don’t like is that your Facebook will make Facebook Tok bigger, and I consider Facebook as an enemy of the people, along with many media.” Why has the president’s position changed that changed? It is difficult to determine one factor. You can remember that Facebook banned Trump after storming the Capitol on January 6, as well as Twitter. Trump also noted that Biden’s support for Tik Talk is much rejected among young voters, and some indicate it as one of the reasons why he does not vote in his favor. In addition, the analytical data showed that Trump’s supporters on Tek Tok clearly performed better than those who supported Biden (later Kamala Harris closed the gap). Others emphasized that billionaire Jeff Yas, one of the most prominent donors of the Republican Party, is also a major shareholder in bite dance, which is the royalty of Tik Talk. Similarly, Elon Musk, who spent $ 277m to prefer Trump and became one of his mighty advisors, opposed Tik Talk and said he was contrary to freedom of expression. However, it may appear that Trump’s opposition to the ban on Tekk as he holds office is far more complicated than just criticizing him and attacking him in the election campaign. He will immediately put it in the light of the National Security Agency, which strongly emphasizes that the application poses a clear and direct danger to the United States. The opportunity to miss the greatest success story for Chinese consumer technology can undermine its promise to be “strict” with Beijing. The ban is still supported by important members of the Republican Party, including Ted Cruz and Marco Rubio, who want Trump to appoint him as Foreign Ministry. Chuck Grassley, who will return to the Senate’s Judicial Committee in January, said Trump is expected to leave the case to the courts. Will Trump interfere in favor of Tok Tok? Trump also seems to have relieved his position in Mark Zuckerberg, or ‘the enemy of the people’ who ate in Mar-a-LGO resort last month. Zuckerberg expressed his desire to help with the technological policy and promised to reduce its content management. The company “Mita Platforms”, and its Instagram Rales product, will be the most obvious beneficiary of the Tik -talk ban, as long as Zuckerberg has always warned about China’s intrusion into the Americans’ activity on the Internet. Of course, Trump owns himself a social network, ‘Truth Soshal’, and denies that he intends to go out of it (although I do not suggest that many of the teens of the ‘Z’ generation will come to this network). When I asked on Friday, the “Tik Talk” legal team did not want to expand, as it is apparently the current Trump thinking. And I think it’s clear that the 170 million users should not count on any interference on its part. The existence of this application does not currently reach a personal benefit for Trump, especially as he no longer attempts to mobilize votes. And originally supported during the election campaign, it would probably return to what it was during its first term, to become a hotbed of the distribution and width of the opposition against IT and its presidential decisions, and another possible threat to national security at the same time.
