In a surprising twist, former President Donald Trump has gone from wanting to ban TikTok to being praised for saving it. The hugely popular video-sharing app, TikTok, faced potential bans due to national security concerns. But Trump, now back in the spotlight, has delayed the ban, giving the app a chance to stay in the U. S. Experts wonder if this is a strategic move to gain favor with younger voters who love the app. Companies like TikTok's parent, ByteDance, are working hard to please Trump, hoping this will help them avoid regulations and penalties. Many are watching to see how this will play out in the long run.
Trump's move comes after tech giants like Elon Musk and Mark Zuckerberg have been trying to impress him. They've changed policies and donated to Trump's causes, hoping to avoid tough regulations. TikTok's CEO even met with Trump and thanked him publicly for his support. But some experts question Trump's legal power to delay the ban, and there's still a lot of uncertainty about what will happen next. This situation shows how quickly things can change in the world of tech and politics.
