Donald Trump’s pick for FCC may do to TikTok what India did in 2020
Brendan Carr, President-elect Donald Trump’s pick to head the FCC, has signaled a potential ban on TikTok in the US. Carr, echoing India’s 2020 ban, deems the platform a national security risk due to potential Chinese government influence. While Trump previously opposed a ban, Carr’s appointment could accelerate the current legislation requiring TikTok’s sale by January 2025 or face prohibition.
