In a surprising turn of events, former President Donald Trump is pointing fingers at President Joe Biden for the possibility of a ban on popular social media platform TikTok. Trump took to Truth Social, his own social media platform, to express his views, stating, "Just so everyone knows, especially the young people, Crooked Joe Biden is responsible for banning TikTok."

This stance marks a significant shift in Trump's position, as he had previously taken steps to force TikTok's parent company, ByteDance, to sell its U.S. assets during his presidency. Although his executive order was later blocked in court, Trump now opposes the potential TikTok ban introduced in the House, which would require ByteDance to sell the app or face a ban within a year.

While Biden has shown support for the measure, Trump alleges that the ban would only serve to benefit Facebook, a rival social media giant. According to Trump, Biden is pushing for the ban to help his friends at Facebook become richer and more dominant, possibly interfering with the Republican Party. He warns voters, particularly the younger generation, to remember this on Election Day, which falls on November 5th.

It's worth noting that Facebook had banned Trump after the Capitol riots, where his supporters attempted to disrupt the certification of the 2020 election results. Trump's account was later reinstated by Meta, Facebook's parent company. Interestingly, Trump had a meeting with Jeffrey Yass, a prominent GOP donor and investor in TikTok, before expressing his opposition to the ban. However, Trump insists that the summit had no influence on his decision.

The TikTok ban legislation will now proceed to the Senate alongside aid packages for Ukraine and Israel. As the former president accuses President Biden of election interference through the potential TikTok ban, the debate surrounding the fate of the popular social media app continues to intensify, raising questions about national security, competition among tech giants, and free speech in the digital age.
