While the law passed in Congress by a wide margin, the prospect of a ban has never been particularly popular publicly. TikTok users bombarded congressional offices with complaints around the time the bill was passed, and the move has been broadly opposed by free-speech and other interest groups. Trump has changed his tune on banning TikTok, but how much he can or will do to stop a legally-mandated sale of the social-media platform remains in question. When it comes to TikTok, Donald Trump voted against it before he voted for it. Was the ban of Tiktok in US necessary ?
