Despite ongoing efforts to force a sale or ban of TikTok in the United States due to concerns about its ties to the Chinese government, public opinion is increasingly leaning towards keeping the popular app.
While U.S. lawmakers have expressed concerns about TikTok’s potential use as a propaganda tool, a recent Pew Research survey found that only 32% of Americans now support a ban.
This marks a significant decline from 50% in March 2023.
The shift in public sentiment may be partially attributed to prominent figures like Donald Trump and Elon Musk publicly opposing a ban.
Their influence has helped to sway public opinion in favor of TikTok.
However, the future of TikTok in the U.S. remains uncertain.
The app is currently facing legal challenges against the proposed sale or ban.
If the legal challenges are unsuccessful, TikTok could be forced to sell its U.S. operations or face a complete ban.
