(Manisha Mahar, Intern Journalist); the US may soon take a final decision about the ban on Tiktok. President Donald Trump is running an ad campaign against it on Facebook and Instagram. It is being said that this Chinese app is spying on American citizens. A few days ago, Trump spoke about considering the ban on Tiktok.
India banned 59 apps from China last month. US NSA Robert O’Brien and the Foreign Minister have praised India’s tough steps.
What is in Trump’s ad campaign
Trump’s anti-Tiktok campaign on his Twitter handle. The tagline of the campaign is – ‘TIKTOK is spying on you.’ It further said that American citizens have the right to privacy. When the user visits a link with this ad, he also gets a survey there. It asks – Do you think Trump should ban TikTok in America? Along with this question, users have also been requested to donate donations for Trump’s election campaign.
According to a website, Tiktok is just a new social media company through which Trump wants to gain donations. It was earlier alleged on Snapchat and Twitter that he was trying to interfere in the 2020 Presidential election. Social media companies have already targeted Trump’s Republican Party.
