The Spin
Narrative A
The Biden campaign's hypocrisy is galling. If TikTok is safe enough for it to be part of the president's attempt to accumulate crucial votes from younger citizens, it's safe enough for average Americans to use.
Narrative B
The bill Biden signed doesn't immediately ban TikTok. If everyone else is going to keep using it, the Biden campaign surely can continue doing so. The campaign is taking necessary precautions to keep the account safe.
Metaculus Prediction
There's a 30% chance that TikTok will be sold to a US entity before Jan. 1, 2025, according to the Metaculus prediction community.
