Ivanka Trump, Donald Trump’s eldest daughter, has a verified TikTok account despite her father’s frequent attacks on the Chinese-owned social media service as a danger to national security.

The account, which has just over 300 followers, appears to be relatively new and did not exist during the recent holiday season. She has yet to post anything on it. 

Ivanka Trump’s account has a blue check mark, indicating it has been verified by TikTok. To get such a mark, the service says it confirms that it belongs to the person or brand it represents.

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. Biden has also criticized TikTok, owned by China’s ByteDance, for security concerns. 

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. TikTok fought the order in court, and the ban was never enforced.

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. 

Ivanka Trump, who served as an advisor to her father while he was in the White House, is the first Trump family member known to have a TikTok account. The current Trump campaign for president is not on TikTok.
