TikTok in the US: Ticktack, TikTok

The dilemma with TikTok can be clearly illustrated by Joe Biden: The President of the United States is not allowed to install the app on his smartphone. He signed the corresponding law himself in 2022, and since then it has applied to all employees in the White House, to members of the Senate, and also to federal authorities. There is great concern that the Chinese Communist Party could use the app as a spying tool. TikTok belongs to the Chinese company ByteDance, based in Beijing.

The same Joe Biden has had an official TikTok account since the beginning of February. Which device does he use to operate it? Good question! In any case, Biden now wants to reach the young voters there that he so urgently needs in order to remain president. He already has 264,794 followers.
