TikTok, the popular video app owned by ByteDance, has found an unexpected ally in former U.S. President Donald Trump. Trump recently expressed opposition to a potential national ban on TikTok, not on First Amendment grounds, but because he believes such a ban would benefit Meta's Facebook and its CEO, Mark Zuckerberg.
Trump's comments were made on Truth Social, a social media platform he is associated with. He referred to Zuckerberg as 'Zuckerschmuck' and claimed that banning TikTok would lead to a significant increase in business for Facebook. Trump accused Facebook of 'cheating' in the last election and labeled them as an 'Enemy of the People'.
