Former United States President Donald Trump insisted on Thursday that ByteDance Ltd.'s TikTok is "less of a danger" to the country than Meta Platforms Inc. and its applications, including Facebook, describing the latter as "a true enemy of the people."
"They spent $500,000,000 against me and our great Republican Party, 'lockboxes' and all, and should never be allowed to do that," Trump wrote on Truth Social. "Like [President] crooked Joe Biden, Facebook is a great threat to democracy, and it will only get bigger and stronger if TikTok is taken out."
Trump's comments came a day after the House of Representatives voted to oust TikTok from the country unless it changes owners from Chinese ByteDance.
