Former President Donald Trump has expressed opposition to a potential TikTok ban in the U.S., arguing it would unfairly benefit Meta Platforms Inc. (NASDAQ:META), the parent company of Facebook, by potentially doubling its business. Trump's stance is a departure from his previous support for banning TikTok, citing concerns over Facebook's influence. The proposed legislation, which could lead to a TikTok ban if ByteDance doesn't divest from the app, has passed the House Energy and Commerce Committee and is supported by President Joe Biden amid national security concerns.
