The first time we covered a potential TikTok ban on Today Explained was way back in August of 2020 when the President at the time said he wanted to ban it.
For a while now, there's been this kind of floating concern in national security circles that is something going on with TikTok that the government should be worried about.
But Trump has really escalated the attacks on TikTok.
The next time was in February of 2023 when Congress was humoring a ban.
You could kind of just throw a dart in the congressional halls and pro hit some member that wants it banned.
Then again in March of last year when Congress passed the ban.
This is not an attempt to ban TikTok.
It's an attempt to make TikTok better.
Tic Tac Toe a winner.
And then again again in April when said ban was signed into law.
This is consequential.
Now the TikTok ban is heading to the Supreme Court of the United States.
