While the Biden administration is in favor for getting rid of Tik Tok they are ironically using the app and many of the major influencers to create videos that encourage a higher voter turnout for younger people while educating viewers on Bidens reelection agenda goals for the new term as president (if he gets reelected). Bidens digital strategy team is attempting to gain influencers to work with from regions all over the country who utilize the apps tik tok and Instagram the most. With the goal of attracting young voters in specific targeting these two social media apps will allow for the best outcomes that are favored by the Biden administration. With the label that the United States government gave tik tok of being a potential threat to US government they sure are leaning the most on this app to sway their desired outcome. To add to this insistent reliance on tik tok new sparks have furthered the US suspicion of the app through recent interviews with Shou Zi Chew that US officials perceived as threating. This event and the reaction of the Biden administration is very interesting, they add new events to their list of suspicions of the app, yet the Biden administration and all other candidates are still betting the ideal outcome of young voters on tik tok.
My Take:
With how simple it is for anyone to view these short and satisfying videos pack with information I understand the Biden administrations tactic of recruiting tik tok influencers to work with the White House to help grab the attention of millions of young adults. But what confuses me is the debate on if tik tok is trusted or not in the government’s eyes yet tik tok is still the most utilize tool within all parties of government to sway voter turnout in their favor. Why would the US want to ban an app that has shown multiple times how impactful it can be with the outcomes of how our government system turns out. Specifically speaking aside from the Biden administration using it as a tool to gain votes the app has also raised awareness to corrupt government events which resulted in a positive correction.
My Question to You:
If you are not that into voting in elections what kind of tik tok posts would capture your interest the most? Do you believe that the Biden administration will see the favored outcome among young citizens and voting out come in this election? Why/Why not?
