Election 2024: The future of TikTok and tech policy under Trump versus Harris: The next president may decide the fate of TikTok, the FCC, Section 230, and more.


The next president may decide the fate of TikTok, the FCC, Section 230, and more.

The 47th president will bring their own approach to issues including net neutrality, the digital divide, artificial intelligence (AI), the race against China to dominate the tech industry, the fate of TikTok, and selecting new members for the board of the Federal Communications Commission (FCC). Project 2025 directs the next administration “to bend or break the bureaucracy to the presidential will” by replacing thousands of nonpartisan, career civil servants with loyalist appointees fireable at whim and forcing executive branch departments and agencies, including the FCC, to heed “ the President’s agenda.” Campaign trail talking points come to an end when the next president assumes office and faces a different reality that includes classified presidential intelligence briefings, thorny specifics on how to implement their agenda, unforeseen butterfly effects, market panics, protests, and maintaining desirable international relations.
