as posted by the channelTrump’s TikTok ban extensions are illegal
Hawk discusses Donald Trump’s third extension of the TikTok ban and why it's a blatant violation of the law. Set to go into effect June 19th, 2025, the TikTok ban originated from legislation passed in early 2024 — not because of concerns over China, but due to intense pressure from Israel and lobbying groups like AIPAC. Hawk unpacks the political fallout from October 7th, 2023, when Hamas committed acts of terrorism in Israel, and the brutal response that followed from the Israeli government in Gaza.
Hawk makes it clear: while condemning both terrorism and antisemitism, it’s also essential to examine how powerful interests tried to suppress dissent and criticism online, particularly among younger generations using TikTok. With viral videos showing the reality on the ground in Gaza, Israel and its allies pushed for the platform’s removal from the U.S. entirely.
The TikTok ban legislation only allowed a single 90-day extension, which Trump has now exceeded — making his second and third extensions technically illegal. Hawk questions how the executive branch can simply ignore the law, and why the public seems indifferent to it.
This is a sharp, insightful look into politics, law, and the blurring of legal boundaries in the digital age.
