Former President Donald Trump detailed why he had changed his position on banning TikTok, despite widespread support for a ban from members of Congress.

The former president outlined his thoughts about the social media company on CNBC on Monday morning, days after he publicly opposed a ban.

‘Frankly, there are a lot of people on TikTok that love it,’ he said during an interview on CNBC. 'There are a lot of young kids on TikTok who will go crazy without it. There are a lot of users, there’s a lot of good and there’s a lot of bad with TikTok
.'
The thing I don’t like is that without TikTok you’re going to make Facebook bigger and I consider Facebook to be an enemy of the people along with a lot of the media,’ Trump said.

He said that he still had national security and privacy concerns about TikTok but that he also had the same concerns about American companies.

‘I do believe that, and we have to very much go in to privacy and make sure that we are protecting the American people’s privacy and data rights,’ he said.

Trump argued that Facebook and other American social media platforms also shared data with China.

Doubt he could legally do anything to TicToc due to Trump owning truthsocial. Would be a huge conflict of interest

Man oh man the Ronbots have gone into overdrive the past couple days. Reminds me of the DU clowns. I’m sure that’s just a coincidence though ;)

So FB and Twitter banned me, so now I have no problem with parents and kids being manipulated by the Chinese Govt.

Look around... where do you think all this crazy normalization is coming from? TikTok and the Chinese Govt.

Come on Donald.....

This is the main reason I'm not for banning TikTok.

The fascist relationships between Meta and the federal government needs the competition.

Be honest. Whatever reason Trump threw out would be your main reason. Come on now.

Banning TikTok is stupid.

I'm glad Trump sees the light.

The difference is that TikTok is a data pipe going straight to CCP intelligence who ultimately controls the company and Facebook is subject to US law and could be contained theoretically.

I am sure if Trump reversed his position on building the wall, you would somehow rationalize it.

As I recall, he wanted TT to have US based ownership.

That requirement would not require a ban.
