Ivanka Trump has a verified TikTok account despite Donald Trump railing against the service for being a national security threat
Former President Trump has called the Chinese-owned social media service a danger to national security.
The actual government has been railing against the service for being a national security threat. Donald Trump was railing against CHYNA for a moment, before he got a hankering for some of that Xi.
Yeah I was pretty sure this was one of those "A broken clock is right twice a day" moments.
As if "preaching water, drinking wine" was a new thing for those right-wingers and fundamentalists.
It is a national security threat and so is TikTok.
This is the best summary I could come up with:
Ivanka Trump’s account has a blue check mark, indicating it has been verified by TikTok.
Representatives for the Trump Organization and TikTok did not immediately respond to Fortune’s requests for comment.
The discovery of Ivanka Trump’s TikTok account comes just days after President Joe Biden’s campaign started to post videos on the service under the handle BidenHQ, in an apparent effort to reach young voters.
While still president in August 2020, Donald Trump went so far as to sign an executive order to effectively ban the use of TikTok in the U.S. by all users saying that it was a national security threat.
When President Biden entered office, he revoked and replaced this executive order with one to evaluate the security risk of apps with connection to foreign adversaries.
Still, he banned federal employees from using the video-sharing app on government-owned devices as journalists from many outlets have documented the platform’s ties to China, and history of spying on users, restricting speech, skirting its own security promises, and harming teen users.

I get why, the hypocrisy but at the same time...how are we at the 'the ex presidents daughter has a tik tok account' stage of American politics.
Ex-president’s *adult daughter. Like I get it, and I hate trump, but why are we here.
Melanie Trump is verified for not having anything to do with Donald Trump despite legally being his wife
*On loan from the Kremlin.
There's a reason you don't see her with him in public anymore. He had to get the deposit back.
Okay? So what?
That's what she said.
Imagine being aggressive of tiktok. Really unhinged stuff.
it turns out the owner isn't even a Chinese citizen, he's just ethnically Chinese 🙄
Owner of TikTok? Co-founders of ByteDance Liang Rubo (current chairman & CEO) and Zhang Yiming (former CEO) are both Chinese citizens, the company is headquartered in Beijing, and the Chinese government has government officials on the board for oversight. I don't know if it gets more Chinese than that, and I'm Chinese.
