As TikTok begins its legal defense against its enforced sell-off in the U.S., which it says will ultimately lead to the removal of the app in the region, support for the TikTok sell-off is waning over time, as the actual end date nears.
Several prominent Americans have expressed their opposition to the TikTok bill, including Presidential candidate Donald Trump, who’s vowed to “save TikTok” if he wins the November poll.
And maybe that’s what’s leading this new shift, but as you can see in the below visualization, created by Visual Capitalist, overall support for the sell-off push has dropped significantly since it was originally proposed in March last year.
Will that prompt a change in course from U.S. regulators? I would say this is unlikely, given the current state of play. But it is interesting to see how Americans from both sides of the political aisle have shifted their opinion on the app.
Maybe the U.S. Government needs to release more info on the actual threat posed by the app, and how U.S. users are impacted by such.
