Joe Biden's campaign joins TikTok despite suspicions of espionage against the application. The move comes even though the government has raised national security concerns about the app and banned it on federal devices.
Biden is not expected to personally join the platform, his aides said, nor are other members of his administration. The account will be managed entirely by the campaign team in an effort to reach voters in an increasingly fragmented American population. Both the FBI and the Federal Communications Commission have warned that TikTok's owner, ByteDance, could share user data, such as browsing history, location, and biometric identifiers.
