    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.
