In a move that has sent shockwaves through the social media world, President Donald Trump has declared his intention to ban TikTok if he is re-elected as president. But that’s not all – he’s also set his sights on revitalizing Instagram and restoring its former glory as the premier photo-sharing platform.
In a fiery statement, Trump railed against TikTok, accusing the Chinese-owned app of posing a threat to national security and American values. He pledged to do whatever it takes to remove it from American markets.
But his plan doesn’t stop there. Trump is also demanding that Instagram clean up its act and return to its original purpose of sharing photos. He wants to tidy up the cluttered home feed, get rid of pesky suggested posts, and restore the functionality of hashtags. And most importantly, he wants Instagram to stop trying to be like TikTok.
To make this happen, Trump is requesting that Instagram recruit the developers who were responsible for the app’s success before 2021. He is also calling for the firing of 80% of the current management team, whom he deems incompetent.
The future of these two social media giants hangs in the balance as Trump’s promises and threats continue to dominate the news cycle. Only time will tell if his plans will come to fruition, but one thing is for sure – the battle for TikTok and Instagram’s future is just beginning.
