On April 24, with the support of the U.S. Senate, Biden officially signed a ban on TikTok operating in the United States.
This ban caused great turmoil in society as soon as it was comparable to the American Prohibition of the last century.
It's even worse than Prohibition, because TikTok is aimed at Americans of all ages and genders in the United States.
Crowds have taken to the streets to protest and demand that Biden lift the ban,
Countless influencers have spoken out on Twitter YouTube, saying that the ban is simply incomprehensible.
And Biden's reasoning is simple, he is worried that TikTok, a software from China, will spy on every American's phone, a move to protect American privacy.
The American people don't buy it at all, they think that Biden's move is to spend the belly of a gentleman with the heart of a villain.
and said that TikTok has penetrated into the lives of the American people,
Such forcible deprivation is undesirable, but Biden did not hear it.
So, what did TikTok do to get Biden to issue a ban, and what was the reaction of the American people after TikTok was gone?

The rise of Tik Tok
You may not believe it when you say it, TikTok didn't do anything,
It's just that it is logged in as an APP in the United States normally and downloaded by the American people.
But what the United States didn't expect was that TikTok was too popular,
And in a very short period of time, it quickly became popular and went viral among the people,
In just a few days, TikTok has topped the download charts in the United States.
Speaking of TikTok, it is actually a product of ByteDance.
It's the same as our Douyin, but it's different from Douyin.
TikTok is for all foreigners except Chinese, and is responsible for recording the good life of foreigners.
So people from different countries met on one platform, and its excitement quickly attracted the attention of foreigners.
Just like its propaganda - "record a good life", foreigners are keen to record life,
As soon as TikTok came out, it directly gave foreigners a space to show, so many foreigners posted videos, all kinds of strange,
There are also many Internet celebrities from Twitter and YouTube, and TikTok has shown a boom for a while.
However, what surprises foreigners more is not only these, TikTok's unique model is also extremely popular with Americans.
They have never seen this model, and the pain points that TikTok mainly uses are those fragmented time,
For a while, on the street and in the subway, many people were scrolling through TikTok.
It can be said that once TikTok hit the shelves, Americans couldn't do without it.
Just as Douyin can quickly gain the love of our people,
TikTok has also won the love of Americans, and ByteDance has been able to use TikTok to rapidly expand overseas markets.
As a result, the model exactly the same as Douyin was moved overseas, causing a sensation, especially live streaming.
In China, we may be tired of watching anchors quarrel,
The scene of saying that he wants to work for the welfare of his family can be seen at a glance that it is a script and wants us to buy it.
But moving this model overseas can be described as a dimensionality reduction blow.
They've never seen partners in a live stream get into an argument over a price.
In an instant, they all thought that they could pick up a big bargain, so they placed orders one after another, and countless goods were snapped up.
While the anchor and ByteDance are making a lot of money,
In fact, it has also stimulated our export industry to a certain extent, which can be described as killing several birds with one stone.
But while Americans are reveling in the carnival brought by TikTok, the U.S. government is worried.
The heart of the U.S. government believes that the popularity of TikTok is not only to make money from the United States,
It may even become a tool to spy on the United States, and a kind of panic is spreading in their hearts, in fact, this is the thief shouting to catch the thief.

TikTok was banned and the people blew up
But whether it's true or not, the TikTok app must not exist in the United States.
So after the Senate president's time of deliberation and negotiation with the people,
Eventually, Biden decided to sign the ban that would make the people unhappy, even though it could have significantly reduced his approval ratings.
Sure enough, the reaction of the American people was very fierce.
They almost unanimously accused Biden of why he banned this software, which does not pose any threat.
Even launched a street march in response to this, Biden's approval rating plummeted, and in an instant the Internet was full of abuse and accusations against Biden.
Many influencers and entrepreneurs said that the impact of this ban on their lives was huge,
Biden is smashing the jobs of many Americans and making it impossible for them to live a normal life.
And even worse, accuse Biden of ruining the future of the American "digital industry" and ruining the future of the United States.
As for Biden's claim that TikTok is a surveillance tool, the American people are even more scoffing,
They said that it was Biden who had done too much of this kind of thing to feel that the world was as black as a crow.
The American people said that they would wait until Biden really found evidence to talk about the ban.
TikTok shouldn't be banned until then.
And Biden's fall is in the hands of some people, such as former US President Donald Trump, who is very happy.
As a rival for Biden in the 2024 U.S. election,
The lower Biden's approval rating, the more he can keep Biden's votes and be elected as the new president of the United States.
At the same time, Trump is also a social person.
He also has a great love for TikTok, which can be seen from the fact that he tweets every day.
So on the Internet, Trump took the lead in protesting Biden's behavior,
And said: "Everyone, especially young people, knows the importance of TikTok, and Joe Biden is responsible for his ban".
There are also many Americans who are unhappy that Biden only targeted TikTok,
They said that Google and Facebook also have foreign shares, why didn't they see Biden think they are also surveillance software.
Banning only TikTok, Biden's intention to suppress the Chinese industry is too obvious.
This move succeeded in arousing the anger of the American people, and even some congressmen did not approve of this approach.
They feel that TikTok is now the fastest and most effective medium in the United States.
Not only does it bring convenience to life, but it also has a positive impact on the spread of government decrees and the international situation.
Biden's move is undoubtedly somewhat arbitrary.

end
The competition between China and the United States seems to have foreshadowed the demise of TikTok in the United States.
Although it did nothing wrong, it fell victim to the Biden administration.
Although TikTok was able to succumb to Biden's conditions to survive in the United States,
But at its core, it is still a Chinese company, and it must not compromise with the United States.
It can only be said that the four years of Biden's administration are also the four years of restlessness in the United States, with various contradictions large and small. It is hoped that this election will bring Biden down and Sino-US relations will become better.
