Joe Biden’s campaign announced Sunday that he is now on TikTok, despite the fact that Biden signed a bill banning the platform on all devices assigned to federal employees a year ago.
Biden’s X account reposted a cringe video from his campaign account in which he answers questions about his Super Bowl preferences.
Hey by the way, we just joined TikTok

Several respondents pointed out that Biden signed into law a limited TikTok ban in December 2022 as part of the 4,126-page spending bill.
Furthermore, in March last year, Biden threatened to ban TikTok altogether unless the app’s Chinese owners agree to spin off their share of the social media platform.
The ultimatum was made by Biden’s Committee on Foreign Investment in the United States, in response to concerns about the amount of data TikTok trawls, and the platform’s links to the Chinese Communist Party.
In the same month, The U.S. House Foreign Affairs Committee voted to advance a bill, titled Deterring America’s Technological Adversaries, that would clear the way for a full ban on the app.
A similar bipartisan bill, called Restricting the Emergence of Security Threats that Risk Information and Communications Technology (“RESTRICT”) Act, was introduced in the Senate around the same time.
Lmao he signs a ban on an app because he thinks it’s dangerous then joins the app because he thinks it will bring in voters 🤣🤣🤣

Makes sense.
Tik-Tok is also owned by China.

Meanwhile, the president (presumably one of his interns) posted this after the game last night on his personal X account…
