Trump Calls Facebook , ‘Enemy of the People’.
A bill that would allow TikTok to be banned in the U.S. was recently passed by the House Foreign Affairs Committee, CNBC reports. .
On March 11, former President Donald Trump, who once attempted to remove TikTok
from American app stores, said.
“Without TikTok, you can make Facebook bigger, and I consider Facebook to be an enemy of the people.”.
Trump went on to say that "there's a lot of good and there's a lot of bad" with TikTok.
There are a lot of people on TikTok that
love it. There are a lot of young kids on
TikTok who will go crazy without it, Donald Trump, to CNBC.
Lawmakers have sought to limit TikTok's reach
in recent years due to fears that the Beijing government will access Americans' private data.
If China wants anything from [TikTok],
they will give it, so that’s a national
security risk [that] goes up, Donald Trump, to CNBC.
But when I look at it, I’m not looking
to make Facebook double the size. , Donald Trump, to CNBC.
And if you if you ban TikTok, Facebook
and others — but mostly Facebook —
will be a big beneficiary, and I think
Facebook has been very busy, Donald Trump, to CNBC.
I think Facebook has been very
bad for our country, especially
when it comes to elections. , Donald Trump, to CNBC
