The ball got rolling 4 years ago, but it was the Biden DoJ which handled it since then. And the bill gave the administration quite some leeway in the execution - and the Biden admin decided to let TikTok get shut down on literally its last day in power. Such an unnecessary and petty move.
Excellent comparison!
TikTok didn't even need to shut down. The requirement was to no longer allow downloads and upgrades in the US, but it could still be used.
TikTok decided themselves to shut down so they could act like Trump saved it. They even made a little cuck trump msg when it came back thanking Trump, but they literally DID NOT have to shut down. They chose it as a smoke screen for the BS that is the Trump admin.
