Kirby Cornered Over Biden-TikTok Push, While Migrants Continue To Use App For Border Malarkey

It hasn’t gone unnoticed that Joe Biden’s Sunday announcement that he’s joined TikTok contradicts the administration’s stance on the app, which remains banned on government devices.

When asked during a Monday presser about the announcement, White House spox John Kirby said that the concerns over the app are more over the “preservation of data and the potential misuse of that data and privacy information by foreign actors.”

Meanwhile, TikTok is the app of choice for human trafficking.

According to a segment on “60 Minutes,” migrants have purportedly been using videos on the China-owned social media platform that provide ‘step-by-step instructions’ for how to find gaps in the border wall and hire smugglers.

TikTok claims that 93% of human trafficking content on the platform is proactively removed.
