Just a month ago, TikTok's CEO Zhou Shouzi was also subjected to various harassments by U.S. lawmakers at congressional hearings, from his nationality to his family status, and was constantly tortured by condescending lawmakers. It has only been 10 days since this torture, and the 82-year-old "old baby", the current ** Biden in the United States, opened his own account on TikTok, so that the "law of true fragrance" appeared in the White House.
The first ** of Biden's account was selected in the "Super Bowl" period that everyone paid attention to, and played quick questions and answers, answering a series of questions such as who will win the Super Bowl championship. And the final question is, who will be the American ** of the year, Trump or Biden? Biden smiled and replied, "Don't be funny, (is) Biden." ”The first content data is good, and the comments are embarrassingIn less than 24 hours, Biden's "@bidenhq" TikTok account received 650,000 followers, and 60640,000 likes, which makes many celebrities who play TikTok for the first time envious. Biden's campaign advisers said the account is run by Team Biden-Harris and will post content on a regular basis, like other social platforms like Instagram. 
But think about it, you also know that there are still a lot of people to see the excitement, as for how many water armies within the Democratic Party, it is estimated that only Biden's team knows how much "real material" there is under this gorgeous data. The Washington Post analysis said that the Biden team is working hard to take steps to try to connect with young people. For example, its avatar on TikTok is a laser in the eye. In response, Gen Z content creator Aaron Parnas noted: "Young people across the country have been waiting for this moment. ”
But how can young voters please with one or two short **s. No, the number one comment in the comment section says: "i can."'t afford gas or rent.(I can't afford to refuel, and I can't afford to pay the rent) It is estimated that Biden himself has a myocardial infarction, who will maintain it in this comment area! Biden opened an account in the White House to "pretend to be stupid".In response to a round of questions from reporters, White House press secretary Jean-Pierre said at a press conference that the Committee on Foreign Investment in the United States' review of TikTok was still ongoing, and that she could not reveal more because the former was an independent department. 
Jean-Pierre declined to comment further on the Biden campaign's presence on TikTok, saying that as White House press secretary, she could not discuss the campaign under Hatch Act of 1939. When asked "if he knew about it before the campaign posted", Pierre denied it on the spot. White House Committee Spokesman John Kirby once again stressed that TikTok is still banned from being used on ** devices, "There is no change in the concerns of *, and this policy is still in effect." But Kirby declined to answer why the Biden campaign chose to use the app when it had "concerns," saying he could not speak on behalf of the Biden campaign. 
After Biden took office in 2021, many U.S. politicians continued to hype TikTok to infiltrate American society and export information and data to China, pushing the United States to sign a ban in February 2023, "In order to ensure the security of U.S. data", all federal agencies must remove TikTok from mobile phones and systems, and prohibit Internet traffic from connecting to the app. Biden has an unexpired ban on opening an account on TikTok with his own hand, isn't this the American version of "only state officials are allowed to set fires, and people are not allowed to light lamps"? However, this time, even the "state official" is not allowed, and only one person is allowed to "set fire", which also arouses the doubts of ** and the people. Biden's aides said that Biden himself and other U.S. *** will not open accounts directly on TikTok in their ** or personal capacity. The new account opened on the 11th will be run entirely by Biden's campaign team, with the aim of reaching out to more voters, especially young people who are less interested in traditional platforms. Republicans bombarded Biden for playing TikTokOn February 19, local time in the United States, a group of 18 Republican lawmakers in the United States jointly urged Biden to cancel his TikTok account on the grounds of "**". 
These lawmakers include U.S. Senators Mark Rubio, Jerry Moran, John Barasso, Martha Blackburn, Rick Scott, and Josh Hawley, among others. "Biden has ignored the '** risk' posed by TikTok, and if the commander-in-chief of the three services is also using the app, how else can the federal ** warn Americans about its risks?" Other Republican lawmakers in the United States seized the opportunity to "kill two birds with one stone" and went on to attack Biden's colleagues and continue to smear TikTok. Republican Senator Tom Cotton, who has made things difficult in Congress, posted on platform X, falsely calling TikTok a "spy app" for China's **, "It's shameful for Biden to use TikTok to make up for the bad polls caused by his mental decline." Senator Joni Ernst, Republican of Iowa, criticized the Biden campaign's decision to use the app today by referring to Biden's December 2022 ban on federal** devices as a "security threat." South Dakota Republican Gov. Kristie Noem claimed, "Biden, you've done a lot of stupid things in the last three years, but 'handing over your data' to China is probably the stupidest thing to do." ”Biden "If you can't beat it, join it?" ”In the face of the current situation, Biden cannot be unexpected, but he still chooses to "join", mainly because TikTok now has 1With 700 million monthly active users, most of whom are young people that the Democratic Party desperately needs in 2024, TikTok's influence as a political information dissemination tool is hard to resist. Both Republicans and Democrats have precedents for partnering with TikTok's influencers to drive their campaign messages. Priorities USA, the Democratic political action committee, even paid them to share Biden's success story and encourage voting. Last year, the White House even hosted the first Christmas party for influencers with TikTok influencers. "It's not surprising that candidates from both parties are increasingly using TikTok to connect with voters and voters," a TikTok spokesperson said in a statement, adding that the average age of users of the platform in the United States is more than 30. 
A person close to TikTok** business operations said, "When you become a valuable, exploitable tool, people don't hate you that much." He mentions how the Obama campaign used Facebook early in 2008: "The Obama team saw the platform (Facebook) as a positive platform, and I think that influenced how they thought about the platform once they got into the job. I think if you want to go around saying that this platform is the worst thing ever, then 'why are you using it' is the next question." Whether Biden's account foreshadows TikTok's fateThere's also a huge amount of friction between the U.S.** departments on how to ban TikTok, or how to shield any injunction from inevitable court challenges. While TikTok has earned itself some respite, Biden's support for the app does open up a new avenue for partisan attacks on the ** himself. Federal Communications Commission Republican Commissioner Brendan Carr, who has long pushed for a ban on TikTok, told Politico News that "I think it's a huge mistake and fundamentally hypocritical." Karl was very unhappy: "Biden's *** team has not been able to reach the opinion for years that this is a platform that does not pose a threat to ***, and at the moment he is on TikTok, which is really a problem". In fact, the so-called "threat debate" of TikTok in the United States began in 2020, when Trump tried to force TikTok. The American media "Axios News Network" pointed out that TikTok is currently one of the most popular mobile apps in the United States, according to TikTok CEO Zhou Shouzi said at a congressional hearing at the end of last month, there are currently about 1700 million Americans are using TikTok, up from 1 a year ago500 million people, an additional 20 million people. 
Trump's efforts to ban TikTok through an executive order were blocked by federal judges in 2020. As part of this review, TikTok formed an independent entity called "US Data Security" in May 2022 and transferred US user data to Oracle cloud servers in the country. A spokesperson for the U.S. Treasury Department did not comment on TikTok's censorship, but said CFIUS is "an important part of the Treasury Department's mission and will continue to use all available powers to protect it." For young Americans, these controversies are not enough to extinguish their love for TikTok, half of which are under the age of 30, and they use TikTok more often than YouTube, Twitter, Social media such as Instagram, Snapchat, and Facebook. 
Today, many members of the U.S. Congress are pushing for a bipartisan effort to ban TikTok in the U.S. and censor it. The Biden campaign said its presence on TikTok was separate and independent from CFIUS scrutiny. But the Biden campaign's decision to open an account on TikTok complicates future scrutiny of the company in the United States. Last year, the U.S. ** "Capitol Hill" predicted that because of the fear of losing votes and other reasons, even if the two parties are calling for a ban on TikTok more and more, the enforcement action will be more difficult than obtaining a ban, because there are a large number of votes that the White House cannot provoke, as well as the freedom of speech that has been advertised.
