BREAKING - Tiktok has now SHUT DOWN SERVICES in the United States, noting "A law banning Tiktok has been enacted in the U.S. Unfortunately, that means you can't use TikTok for now. We are fortunate that President Trump has indicated that he will work with us on a solution to reinstate Tiktok once he takes office. Please stay tuned!"

It's important to remember that politicians are still people, too. Some of them might just not have realized what would happen, some of them might just be corrupt, some of them might have known this was a bad idea but played along anyway to try and get support for things they thought were more important. There isn't actually a single motivator for all of the Democratic Party. That's just not how people work.
