"Trump's Shifting Stance on TikTok Sparks Political Turmoil"

TL;DR Summary
Former President Trump's opposition to a TikTok ban is not swaying fellow Republicans in Congress, who are moving forward with legislation to ban the app from U.S. app stores unless its parent company, China-based ByteDance, agrees to divest. The bill, endorsed by President Joe Biden, has received bipartisan support amid concerns about national security and potential Chinese government influence. TikTok is mobilizing its users to pressure lawmakers, while some Republicans, including Trump allies, are standing firm on the need to address the app's potential threat as a mass surveillance tool.
